Israel’s Ambassador to the US Michael Herzog asks the crowd at the pro-Israel rally in Washington to raise its voice as Israel continues its operation in Gaza, saying that Israel must finish the war because “there is simply no other choice for a nation that values life.

“We are witnessing mass rallies around the globe vilifying Israel, glorifying Hamas and celebrating the murder of Jews. We are witnessing Jewish students assaulted and silenced on college campuses. We are witnessing Jewish demonstrators attacked, and in some cases killed.

“The dark demons of antisemitism have been unleashed.”

Herzog continues, “My friends and my brothers and sisters, we are a grieving nation, yet united and determined. And together with you – through our shared voices, values and strength – together we will defeat evil and we will prevail,” says Herzog.
