Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tweets that he and his wife “were shocked by the apparent attack on President [Donald] Trump,” after the former US leader and current Republican candidate was injured by apparent gunshots at a rally.

“We pray for his safety and speedy recovery,” he adds.

Trump’s campaign and the US Secret Service have said Trump is doing fine.

Far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir writes “God bless Trump,” adding a heart emoji.

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich tweets: “Praying from The Holy Land for President Trump.”
