00:21Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was among the first global leaders to react.
00:27He said he was shocked by what he described as an attempted assassination of Donald Trump.
00:33Netanyahu also expressed relief that Trump and the First Lady were safe and strong and extended wishes for a full
00:40and speedy recovery to a police officer injured in the incident.
00:45He also praised the U.S. Secret Service for what he called swift and decisive action in controlling the situation.
00:52Meanwhile, in the United Kingdom, Prime Minister Keir Starmer also condemned the attack.
00:59He said he was shocked by the scenes in Washington and stressed that any attack on democratic institutions or the
01:06freedom of the press must be condemned in the strongest possible terms.
01:11Starmer added that it was a huge relief that the U.S. President and others present at the event were
01:17safe.
01:18As investigations continue, questions remain over the motive behind the shooting.
01:24U.S. officials have not yet confirmed whether Donald Trump was the intended target.
01:29However, reports suggest that the suspect told authorities he wanted to target officials linked to the Trump administration.
01:37Donald Trump himself addressed the incident shortly after.
01:42He said the attack would not deter him from what he described as winning the war in Iran.
01:47The man has been captured. They're going to his apartment. I guess he lives in California. And he's a sick
01:55person, a very sick person.
01:58When asked if the shooting was linked to the ongoing conflict, Trump said he did not believe so, but added
02:04that nothing could be ruled out completely.
02:07He reiterated that the U.S. would continue its actions and remain focused despite the incident.
02:13The shooting has once again raised serious concerns about security threats targeting political leaders and institutions, even in highly controlled
02:23environments.
02:24As the investigation unfolds, the world watches closely, not just for answers, but for what this means for global stability
02:32and ongoing conflicts.
03:03Thanks.

03:12Bye.

03:17Bye.
03:17Bye.
