Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regrets the assassination of Miguel Uribe and condemns the June 7 attack.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his profound sadness Wednesday over the assassination of former presidential candidate Miguel Uribe, who was wounded in the June 7 attack and fought for his life for two months. “My wife Sara and I are deeply saddened by his passing,” the president said in a message posted on his official X account.

Netanyahu emphasized that Uribe was "a true friend of Israel and the Jewish community of Colombia" and described his assassination as "an atrocious crime against democracy." The Israeli Prime Minister sent his condolences to the politician's family and those close to him.

One of the first reactions came from the United States, where Secretary of State Marco Rubio became the first Trump administration official to speak out.
