Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has condemned in the “strongest possible terms the horrific terrorist attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh”.

“On behalf of the people of Israel, I extend our deepest condolences to the families of those murdered and our wishes for a full recovery to the injured,” he said in a statement released by his office.

“Terrorism targets innocent people and seeks to spread fear and instability. It must be confronted with resolve.”

He added: “Israel looks forward to a strong Middle East — one that stands united against threats, protects its people, and builds a future of security, cooperation, and prosperity for all the peoples of our region.”
