Netanyahu hails Trump for 'decisive' action that killed Soleimani

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praises the United States and its president Donald Trump for killing Iranian top commander Qassem Soleimani.

“President Trump deserves all the credit for acting swiftly, forcefully and decisively. Israel stands with the United States in its just struggle for peace, security and self-defense,” Netanyahu tells reporters before departing back to Israel from Greece.

“Just as Israel has the right of self-defense, the United States has exactly the same right,” the premier adds. “Qassem Soleimani is responsible for the death of American citizens and many other innocent people. He was planning more such attacks.”
