Dep FM Ayalon congratulates the U.S. on killing Bin Laden

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Danny Ayalon praised the American administration and its armed forces for killing Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan.

"As someone who was Israel's Ambassador to the U.S. during the formative years of the war on terror, I can testify how hard the administrations in Washington worked to bring Bin Laden and other Al Qaeda leaders to justice," said Ayalon. "This is a vital psychological tipping point in the war on terror and will send a clear message to terrorists and extremists everywhere that they are not immune."

"This successful operation proves that sometimes the West needs to take extraordinary measures to defeat terror and provide security for its citizens."

Dep FM Ayalon is currently visiting the Baltic nations and today will speak and participate at a ceremony at Paneriai where 70,000 Jews were brutally murdered during the Holocaust.

"This successful operation sends the important message that terror and evil will find no permanent shelter and will eventually be destroyed, just as the Nazis decades before," Ayalon said. "The rejoinder to remember and never forget is not about revenge, but about seeking justice. Regardless of time murderers and terrorists will receive the justice they deserve."
