Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan says the Manchester attack proves the need for Israel and other countries to work together against terror, comparing the bomber to Palestinian attackers.
“World leaders need to understand that terror needs to be fought together, only that way will we be able to overcome the extremist terrorists. Terror is terror, in Jerusalem, Paris or as we unfortunately see again, this time in Manchester,” he writes on Facebook.
Knesset speaker Yuli Edelstein says much the same, praising Trump for his stand against terror in his comments Monday.
“We are all one front, and Israel will work with whomever we need to in the continuing fight against terror,” Edelstein says in a statement.
