Foreign Minister Yair Lapid made the following statement in response to Foreign Secretary Raab and Secretary of State Blinken's announcements:

"In the past few days, I‘ve spoken with Secretary of State Blinken, Foreign Secretary Raab, and colleagues around the world about this issue. The murderous regime in Iran and the terrorism it exports are a global threat."

"I am pleased that both the United States and the United Kingdom have condemned these terrorist acts. The threat posed by the terrorist regime in Iran will only increase when the "Butcher of Tehran" Raisi becomes President."

"Israel will continue to hold conversations with our allies around the world and work together to formulate the necessary steps to combat ongoing Iranian terror."
