Chairman Avigdor Liberman of the Yisrael Beytenu Party has welcomed the elimination of Islamic State terror leader Abu-Bakr Al-Baghdadi by the United States.
The former defense minister said, "The US military's brilliant operation, based on high-quality intelligence, is evidence that the US government and security system are the leading force in fighting Islamic terrorism." He concluded that Al-Baghdadi's elimination "proves that terrorists are not immune anywhere in the world, including Gaza and Lebanon."
