Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan said that the Iranian protesters were “bravely standing up” to a regime that was spending billions of dollars funding foreign terror groups Hezbollah and Hamas instead of “investing in the Iranian people.”
Regional Cooperation Minister Tzachi Hanegbi tweeted that Iranian protesters were “courageously risking their lives in the pursuit of freedom,” and that the “civilized world” should support them.

The Israeli ministers’ message of support came as U.S. President Donald Trump also took to Twitter to express his support, for the second time in 24-hours, saying that the “entire world understands that the good people of Iran want change.”
“Oppressive regimes cannot endure forever, and the day will come when the Iranian people will face a choice,” he said, adding that “The world is watching!”
Iran strongly condemned U.S. President Donald Trump’s support.
