OCCUPIED JERUSALEM: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated US leader Donald Trump Sunday on the operation to rescue an airman downed in Iran.
“Congratulations President Trump! All Israelis rejoice in the incredible rescue of a brave American pilot by America’s dauntless warriors,” Netanyahu said in a recorded speech.
“This rescue operation reinforces the sacred principle: no one is left behind,” he said.

The latest US operation was to rescue an airman whose fighter jet crashed over Iran, while a previous one hours before had brought a pilot to safety.
The Israeli premier further drew parallels between the “daring rescue operations” conducted in the past by the Israeli military and the one carried out by the US inside Iran.
