Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released another video in English, in which he began with a birthday greeting to US President Donald Trump."You are an extraordinary leader," he said."You have done wonderful things for Israel. You are an extraordinary friend to the Jewish state and to me personally. We appreciate what you are doing now - helping to protect Israeli lives against the criminal regime in Iran."

He later referred to the attack in Iran and said,"We have indications that senior Iranian officials are already packing their bags. If we had not acted, we would have had information that this regime planned to transfer the nuclear weapons it would develop to its terrorist branches."
