Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a strong condemnation of the terrorist attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which killed at least 12 people and injured 309. The attack, carried out by Iran-backed Houthi rebels during the Sabbath, targeted innocent civilians and aimed to spread fear and instability, Netanyahu stated. He expressed deep condolences to the families of the victims and wished for the full recovery of the injured.
Netanyahu added that Israel expects a united Middle East that stands against threats, protects its people, and builds a future of security, cooperation, and prosperity for all nations in the region. This is the third attack on the Riyadh airport in a single week and the deadliest on Saudi soil in over a decade. The attack caused significant damage to the terminal and disrupted airport operations, with flights being diverted.
Among the fatalities were four Saudi citizens, two from Bangladesh, and one each from the United States, Jordan, Palestine, Syria, Sudan, and Egypt. The escalation of violence has also raised concerns in Washington. U.S. President Donald Trump indicated that the administration would consider its response to the attacks, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio denounced the actions as a blatant disregard for innocent lives. The U.S. Embassy in Riyadh issued an urgent travel advisory, recommending avoidance of the airport area.
