Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the “disgraceful rampage” on the Capitol Building on Thursday morning, saying it was the “opposite” of American and Israeli values before going on to praise President Donald Trump.
“For generations, American democracy has inspired millions around the world and in Israel. American democracy has always inspired me,” Netanyahu said while standing alongside U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, who was in Jerusalem in the aftermath of Sudan’s pledge to join the Abraham Accords and normalize ties with Israel.
He then praised Trump for his four years in office, in particular his efforts in the Middle East.
“I want to thank President Trump and all of you in the administration for all you have done and are doing for peace. You’ve made a real difference, achieving one breakthrough after another, bringing the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan into the circle of peace. I have no doubt that more Arab and Muslim countries will follow,” Netanyahu said.
“Lawlessness and violence are the opposite of the values we know Americans and Israelis cherish. The rampage of the Capitol yesterday was disgraceful act and it must be vigorously condemned. I have no doubt that American democracy will prevail — it always has,” the prime minister added.
Mnuchin also denounced the attack on the Capitol Building.
“The violence that occurred last night at the Capitol in Washington, DC, was completely unacceptable. Now is the time for our nation to come together as one and to respect the democratic process in the US,” the treasury secretary said.
Defense Minister Benny Gantz also put out a statement condemning the attack, while Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz said it was “shocking, disturbing, frightening.”
Health Minister Yuli Edelstein, a senior politician from the ruling Likud party, warned that such an attack could happen in Israel

I appreciate Natanyahu’s praise for President Trump
Interesting, considering Bibi threw Trump under the bus in November.
AIPAC threw Trump under the bus, too.
Judas. This Tyrant has his country in total lockdown.
Maybe you should mind your own country.
Do you know what what really undermines American and Israeli values? It’s when the election for the most important office in the country is rigged and an illegitimate government is installed. It’s when a government governs by force rather by the consent of the governed. It’s when the whole system has been exposed as a scam, but citizens are told to like it or lump it so the whole rotten scam can continue “in peace,” to the benefit of the government, not the people.
Screw Natanyahu, that ungrateful POS.
Is Israel having it’s fourth or fifth presidential election in two years? Many in both major parties want Bibi out. Maybe he’s saying this to curry favor with a few voters and last a little bit longer in office. Italy used to be known for it’s ever changing government too.
I hate to break it to you, son, but 75 million Trump voters have no intention of coming together as one. Those 75 million Trump voters do respect the democratic process, which is why not a one of us will view Biden as a legitimate president.
Maybe, but I would love to see what intel the Israelis have on the instigators or the violence on the Capitol.
I have no doubt they are spying on Antifa and BLM, just as obama did with Israel and Trump. Israel should release or “leak” any intel to their best friend evah...Trump
And likewise, Trump should release any NSA intel he may have on Antifa’s involvement.
I get a kick out of them claiming democracy and the process as numerous states’ election process was determined by 1 or 2 individuals instead of the legislatures.
The people through their representatives didn’t have any input into the process, rules or laws. Democracy was stolen from them.

The coup/death of America, happened on election day/night: 3 November 2020!
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The head of a major U.S. business group that represents 14,000 companies including Exxon Mobil Corp, Pfizer Inc and Toyota Motor Corp urged senior U.S. officials to consider removing President Donald Trump from office after supporters of the outgoing president stormed the U.S. Capitol.
National Association of Manufacturers President and CEO Jay Timmons said Trump “incited violence in an attempt to retain power, and any elected leader defending him is violating their oath to the Constitution and rejecting democracy in favor of anarchy.... Vice President (Mike) Pence, who was evacuated from the Capitol, should seriously consider working with the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to preserve democracy.”
See my tagline!:
Thanks to Prime Minister Netanyahu for his kind words in praise of the best president we’ve had in our lives.
And yes, those impolite, noisy protests were just terrible...awful! ;)
[Pat on the backs of the protesters behind the irony there.]
Who asked for his two cents on the matter?
Big Gets It!!!!!
Thank you, sir.
Israel has lost the strongest ally it ever had.
The once heroic but now a idiot praised Biden too.
