Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has expressed his shock and concern over the second reported assassination attempt on former U.S. President Donald Trump.
Taking to his verified Twitter account, Netanyahu voiced relief that the attempt had failed but stressed the need for stronger preventive measures.
“Sara and I were shocked by the second assassination attempt against President Trump and were relieved to hear that it too failed. But we should not rely on luck,” the Israeli leader wrote. He further extended his best wishes to Trump and his wife, Melania, hoping that future attacks could be thwarted before they happen.
Netanyahu’s statement emphasizes the close relationship between the Israeli leader and Trump, who played a significant role in key foreign policy decisions affecting Israel during his presidency, including the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Netanyahu has consistently been an outspoken supporter of Trump, and this statement reflects his continued solidarity with the former U.S. president.
The assassination attempts raise concerns about the safety and security of prominent political figures like Trump, particularly as he remains a leading figure in U.S. politics and a candidate for the presidency. Netanyahu’s comments emphasize that stronger security measures must be implemented to prevent such dangerous incidents in the future.
