Israel’s president noted to his Mexican counterpart that he was "sorry for the hurt" over a tweet in which the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, appeared to praise Donald Trump’s plans to build a wall on the US-Mexican border, Guardian reports.
In a tweet on Saturday, Netanyahu wrote: "President Trump is right. I built a wall along Israel’s southern border. It stopped all illegal immigration. Great success. Great idea."
Netanyahu had earlier sidestepped Mexico’s demand for an apology saying his comments did not refer to ties between the US and its southern neighbour.
