Netanyahu on Soleimani killing: Donald Trump deserves all credit

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Friday that US President Donald Trump "deserves all the credit for acting swiftly, forcefully and decisively" following the killing of Iran's top general earlier on Friday. Netanyahu added that Israel stands with Washington in its "just struggle for peace, security, and self-defence".

Netanyahu is cutting short a visit to Greece and returning home to follow "ongoing developments" after the killing of Iran's Major General Qassem Soleimani. The Israeli army has ordered a ski resort on Mount Hermon, on the Israel-controlled Golan Heights, to close.  It took no other immediate precautions.
