President Isaac Herzog responded to the US attack on Iran and wrote on his X account: "In the pages of human history, this is a moment where principles of freedom, responsibility and security prevailed. A moment of decision between the axis of terror and evil and the axis of hope. Thank you, President Trump. Thank you, United States of America. This critical action serves the security interests of the entire free world. I hope it will bring a better future to the Middle East - and also help secure the urgent release of our hostages from captivity in Gaza."
