Yair Lapid, one of the leaders of the opposition Blue and White Party, has congratulated United States President Donald Trump's decision end sanctions waivers on the importing of oil from Iran, calling it a "courageous and important decision that will directly affect the source of Iranian terror's income."

Writing on Twitter, Lapid added, "The United States' commitment to act against terrorism in Iran over the years is a cornerstone of its foreign policy and partnership of security interests in the Middle East."
