Reaction from the international community started to pour in Friday, hours after the U.S. carried out airstrikes on a Syrian airfield in order to prevent more chemical attacks in the region. Israeli President Reuven Rivlin praised the U.S. for its airstrike aimed at an airbase called Shayrat. Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe expressed support for the U.S. missile attack on Friday saying that the country understood and supported the strategy. Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull told reporters that the Australian government supported the “swift and just response” of the U.S. airstrikes. “We see the (airstrikes) as positive, but we believe that this should be completed," Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus said.
