Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has praised former U.S. President Donald Trump for what he described as a strong stand against terrorism. He said Trump’s policies and actions helped send a clear message to extremist groups that violence and instability would not be tolerated.

Netanyahu noted that during Trump’s time in office, cooperation between Israel and the United States on security matters became stronger. He added that intelligence sharing, military support, and diplomatic backing played an important role in confronting security threats in the region.

The Israeli leader also said that firm leadership is necessary when dealing with terrorist organisations, stressing that governments must be decisive in protecting their citizens. According to him, international cooperation is key to preventing attacks and maintaining peace.

Trump has not officially responded to the comments, but the statement has drawn reactions from political observers worldwide. Supporters say it highlights strong U.S.–Israel relations, while critics continue to debate the long-term impact of Trump’s foreign policy decisions.
