“Sara and I were shocked by the attempted assassination of President [Donald Trump] last night in Washington, DC,” Netanyahu posted on X. “We are relieved that the President and the First Lady are safe and strong. We send our wishes for a full and speedy recovery to the wounded police officer and salute the US Secret Service for their swift and decisive action.”
Details of the shooting remained limited early Sunday, but officials confirmed a gunman entered the lobby area of the event venue. At least one police officer was wounded in the exchange. Trump was not injured.
Herzog also expressed shock at the political violence, aligning with statements from other international leaders who denounced the attack as an assault on democratic values.
