Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
I condemn in the strongest possible terms the horrific terrorist attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which claimed the lives of 12 innocent people and injured hundreds more.
On behalf of the people of Israel, I extend our deepest condolences to the families of those murdered and our wishes for a full recovery to the injured.
Terrorism targets innocent people and seeks to spread fear and instability. It must be confronted with resolve.
Israel looks forward to a strong Middle East—one that stands united against threats, protects its people, and builds a future of security, cooperation, and prosperity for all the peoples of our region.
The U.S. Embassy in Beirut thanks President Donald J. Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for their leadership in bringing a long-held Lebanese dream closer to reality: direct flights between Lebanon and the United States.
This important step strengthens trust between our two countries and signals confidence in Lebanon’s future. Direct flights would bring families closer together, strengthen ties with the Lebanese American community, and make it easier for American businesses to explore opportunities and invest in Lebanon.
We look forward to working with our Lebanese partners to turn this opportunity into a reality that benefits both our peoples and supports a more prosperous Lebanon.
