Following the US attack in Iran, Minister of FOreign Affairs Gideon Sa'ar today (Sunday, 22 June 2025) issued the following statement:
"Blessed are you, Lord our God, Ruler of the Universe, who has given us life, sustained us and allowed us to reach this day."
U.S. President Donald Trump wrote his name tonight in golden letters in the history books. In his courageous decision to attack Iran's nuclear facilities, he proved in practice that he is worthy of the title of leader of the free world. He will be remembered forever as a true friend of the Jewish people and the State of Israel.
It is now clear that the Israeli Security Cabinet, in its June 12th decision to launch 'Operation Rising Lion' removed the danger of annihilation from the people of Israel. Quite literally. I had the privilege of participating in an unprecedented decision-making process, which is still not over. There are many partners in the political and security spheres that contributed to the successes. But there is one without whom this would not have happened: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who led this bold historic move and demonstrated extraordinary leadership.
He skillfully navigated both the discussions on operational aspects and the diplomatic work with the U.S. over the past few months. He has shown determination and wisdom.
As Menachem Begin said about Yitzhak Rabin after the Entebbe operation: "Everyone has the right, but the Prime Minister is the head of the team... while everyone is responsible, it puts one more drop of responsibility on his shoulders."
God bless America!
God bless President Donald Trump!
"And the Glory of Israel does not waver."
