Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised US President Donald Trump on Sunday for the successful rescue of an American airman in Iran.
“Congratulations, President Trump! All Israelis celebrate the courageous rescue of a daring American pilot by America’s fearless forces,” Netanyahu said in a recorded statement.
He added that the operation underscores a vital principle: no one is ever left behind.
The recent US mission involved saving an airman whose fighter jet had gone down over Iran, following an earlier operation just hours prior that secured another pilot’s safety.
Netanyahu also noted the similarity between these bold US rescue efforts and previous high-risk missions carried out by the Israeli military, highlighting the shared commitment to courage and precision in such operations.
