Netanyahu prays, thanking Trump after US attack on Iran

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked US President Donald Trump on Sunday for his military intervention in Iran during a prayer at the Western Wall in Jerusalem.

Netanyahu visited the Western Wall, known to Jews as the Western Wall, in Jerusalem's Old City in the afternoon to recite this prayer, accompanied by a rabbi.

During the prayer, a video of which was released by the Western Wall Office, Netanyahu asked God to "bless, protect, and assist US President Donald Trump, who has taken it upon himself to expel evil and darkness from the world."

After the short prayer, the Israeli prime minister placed a note in the cracks of the wall, a Jewish tradition at the holy site, that read: “The people of Israel have risen, the people of Israel live!” according to a statement from the Western Wall Office.

Earlier, Netanyahu thanked the US president for the "bold" attack on strategic Iranian nuclear sites, describing it as a "historic turning point" that would establish peace in the Middle East.

The US President announced this morning that the US military had carried out a "very successful attack" on three Iranian nuclear sites, including the underground Fordow uranium enrichment facility.

"We have completed our very successful attack on all three of Iran's nuclear sites, including Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan," Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform.

"A full load of bombs was dropped on the main Fordow site," he added, noting that the aircraft that carried out the attack safely left Iranian airspace and are on their way home.
