Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent his condolences Tuesday to the American people and the families of the victims of the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, dpa reported.
"The people of Israel grieve with the American people," he said in a statement.
"If there's any people in the world that understands what Americans are going through, what they went through in 9/11, it's the people of Israel, who've been standing at the forefront of the battle against terrorism, who've lost loved ones and who deeply, deeply sympathize with the people of America at this time," he said.
