Jerusalem (AFP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Friday he supports the “strong and clear message” sent by a United States strike in neighboring Syria in retaliation for a suspected chemical attack.
“In both word and action, President Trump sent a strong and clear message today that the use and spread of chemical weapons will not be tolerated,” a statement from Netanyahu’s office said.
“Israel fully supports President Trump’s decision and hopes that this message of resolve in the face of the Assad regime’s horrific actions will resonate not only in Damascus, but in Tehran, Pyongyang and elsewhere,” he said.
