A statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Israel shared "in the grief of the American people on the tragic deaths of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and the other embassy staff."
Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said in the same statement that the US, which is the leader of the free world, has long stood in the firing line of radical Islamist terrorism."
He added: "The fact that these attacks took place exactly 11 years to the 9/11 attacks proves that this is a long and difficult battle against those who believe in sowing death and destruction, and only their excuse changes every time.
"The rioters who attacked the American diplomatic missions are people who want to impose their views and beliefs at any price, and for them the ideals of freedom of speech and freedom of conscience are concepts that are to be removed from this world together will all Western culture."
