Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Thursday condemned the "disgraceful" violent storming of the U.S Capitol Wednesday, as American lawmakers were confirming the electoral win of President-elect Joe Biden in the election.
"The storming of the Capitol Building in Washington was disgraceful and deserving of all condemnation," Netanyahu said during a joint press conference with U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Steve Mnuchin.
"For generations, American democracy has been an inspiration to the world and Israel. This violent riot is the complete opposite of the values Americans and Israelis hold dear. I Have no doubt that American democracy will prevail - as it always did."
