Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday visited the Western Wall in Jerusalem to pray for U.S. President Donald Trump, following overnight airstrikes by American forces on Iranian nuclear facilities.

Accompanied by his wife Sara, Netanyahu offered prayers at the sacred site, expressing gratitude to Trump for what he described as a bold stand against evil.

In a video shared by the Western Wall Heritage Foundation, Netanyahu asked God to "bless, protect and assist the President of the United States, Donald Trump, who has taken upon himself the mission of pushing back darkness and evil."

He also placed a handwritten note in the crevices of the ancient wall declaring, “The people of Israel have risen the people of Israel live!”

The visit came just hours after the U.S. launched strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities — an operation that follows longstanding calls by Netanyahu for stronger global action to halt Iran’s nuclear program.

The Israeli leader praised the mission, calling Trump’s decision to strike Iran’s nuclear infrastructure “historic” and “righteous.”

President Trump confirmed the operation, stating that it had destroyed key elements of Iran’s nuclear program and issued a stern warning to Tehran. “Iran’s nuclear facilities have been wiped out. It’s time for them to stand down,” he said.

The U.S. airstrikes mark a major escalation in a conflict that began on June 13, when Israel carried out its own strikes against Iranian targets.

In Israel, news of American involvement sparked celebrations among some citizens. “We woke up to sirens, and then heard the U.S. had struck. Everyone is glad they’ve joined the fight,” said David, a resident of Jerusalem.

The Western Wall, one of the most revered Jewish prayer sites, is a remnant of the Second Temple destroyed in 70 AD. It lies in East Jerusalem’s Old City, an area Israel captured during the 1967 war and continues to claim as part of its undivided capital.
