Tel Aviv: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed that the killing of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was the result of what he termed an alliance between “radical Islamists and ultra-progressives.” He made the statement during an interview with Fox News on Friday.

Calling it a “worldwide problem,” Netanyahu said: “The people on the extremes, the radical Islamists and their union with the ultra-progressives, they often speak about human rights and free speech. But they use violence to take down their enemies. Whether it’s President Trump, who’s been almost assassinated twice, or attempts to kill me here too. But they got Charlie Kirk, and it’s just heartbreaking.”

Netanyahu underlined that Israel had no involvement in the incident, instead attributing responsibility to unnamed groups abroad.
