Trump lays wreath at Holocaust memorial

Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump have laid a wreath during a visit to the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial museum in Jerusalem, which commemorates the six million Jews killed by the Nazis during the Second World War.

Trump said that it was “humanity's solemn duty to mourn and grieve every life lost during the Holocaust.

"Words can never describe the bottomless depths of that evil, or the scope of the anguish and destruction. It was history's darkest hour. It was the most savage crime against God and his children."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – who was also present at the ceremony – said that terror was terror, be it in Manchester, San Bernardino or Jerusalem.

Seeming to reference Trump’s earlier comments about the Manchester attack, Netanyahu said that "it is our job to make sure the terrorists continue to lose”.
