Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tweets that he and his wife “were shocked by the second assassination attempt against” former US president Donald Trump at the latter’s golf course in Florida.
The Netanyahus are “relieved to hear that it too failed,” they say, “But we should not rely on luck.”
“We send our best wishes to Donald and Melania along with our hopes that all measures will be taken to ensure that such deadly attacks on a candidate for the US presidency will be foiled in advance,” the statement adds.
