Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his speech in Jerusalem on Sunday condemned deadly shooting that happened during the Donald Trump Presidential Campaign rally earlier on the same day in Butler, Pennsylvania.
"We all watched in shock yesterday at the criminal assassination attempt on former President and US presidential candidate Donald Trump. This is not only a heinous crime, it is also an attempt to assassinate American democracy," he said.
Netanyahu in the name of his family and Israeli government wished Trump 'a speedy recovery and a return to full strength'.
Trump was shot to his right ear when he was delivering his speech in the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday. As rows of shots fired, the candidate ducked behind his lectern and was surrounded by bodyguards before being taken out of the venue, while raising his fist into the air.
The alleged gunman was killed by the US Secret Service agents. Another attendee was also reported dead in the rally, with two others in critical condition.
Law enforcement authorities have named the shooter as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks but says they are still investigating his motive behind the attack, according to media reports. The case is currently being investigated as a possible assassination attempt.
Following the incident, President Joe Biden made his statements in a speech in Rehoboth Beach, calling it 'sick' and condemning the violent act, while also saying that he had 'tried to get a hold of Donald.'
Other US politicians like the former president Barack Obama and Secretary of States Antony Blinken also commented on the shooting, condemning political violence and sending wishes to Trump.
