Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that the war in Gaza has “everything” to do with people around the world. “Our enemies are your enemies,” he argues.
He says he is going to do a pop quiz, then holds up a poster with the question, “Who shouts ‘Death to America’?”
The answer is All of the Above – Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Iran.
The audience shouts out a similar answer for the question, “Who has murdered Americans and Europeans in cold blood?”
“Our enemies hate all of us with equal venom,” he says. “They want to drag the modern world back to the past, to a dark age of violence, fanaticism, and terror.”
“You know deep down that Israel is fighting your fight,” he says, adding that leaders who publicly condemn Israel say behind closed doors that they value Israel’s intelligence services that have repeatedly prevented attacks in their capitals.
President Trump, he says, understands better than any other leader that “Israel and America face a common threat.”
He showed Iran that “there is a price to pay” for funding armed terrorist groups, killing Americans, and plotting to assassinate him, says Netanyahu.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
