Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says “Israel looks after its citizens wherever they are,” after more than 200 people are rescued from conflict areas in Ethiopia.
Netanyahu thanks those involved for a “quick, silent and most importantly, successful” operation.
Foreign Minister Eli Cohen also hails the resuce.
“The State of Israel will not stand by and will not leave a single Israeli behind,” says Cohen.
“This is the result of successful cooperation and close coordination with the Prime Minister’s Office, the NSA and the Jewish Agency,” he says. “I am proud of the people of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Israeli Embassy in Ethiopia for their quick and high-quality activities.”
