    Qassem Soleimani was killed in a U.S. airstrike on his convoy near the Baghdad airport Friday.
    On Wednesday Iran launched missile attacks on two bases hosting U.S. forces in Iraq.
    The prime minister said U.S. President Donald Trump is to be congratulated for the attack that killed Iranian Soleimani Friday calling the Revolutionary Guard Corps commander a terrorist with the blood of many on his hands and the architect of Iran's policy of terror in the Middle East.

    Netanyahu said Iran's attempts to achieve a stranglehold on Israel is because it understands that Israel is the strongest force for the West to counter the Islamic Republics' aggressive intents and any attempt to harm Israel " will suffer the most resounding blow ."
    Netanyahu also repeated that the United States has no greater friend than Israel and Israel no greater friend than the United States.
    Foreign Minister Israel Katz said Israel stands by the United States in its confrontation against Iranian terror.
    "Qassem Soleimani was the number one instigator of terror and the Middle East will be safer without him," the minister said.

    bibi beware
    if bibi intrudes on bennett's decisions as defense minister, then Bennett may align with gantz in the next election guaranteeing bibi will lose. so bibi should leave Bennett alone -otherwise he loses the election and may end up in jail like the previous pm.

    To stand by.
    We, all people, all countries and all continents can stand by eachother against agression and crime and for peace. We have the right of self-defence, if needed. We can act in a harsh way to solve the problem of terror.

    To Steve Benassi, at nr. 7.
    That is asking for the well-known road. I already wrote often about this issue. Do you remember that? We can act together to solve the problem of terror, if needed, to serve, to defend and to protect humankind, to get peace and security in our interest.
