Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanks visiting Argentinian President Javier Milei for “standing by our side in the campaign against the forces of darkness” during a special Knesset session in honor of the visiting South American leader.
“Javier, you are a true friend. With this visit, we are bringing our relations to new heights. 12,000 kilometers separate Buenos Aires, Israel and the Knesset in Jerusalem. This great distance is compensated for by the closeness of our hearts,” Netanyahu says, declaring that “together we will achieve enormous things” for both countries.
In the face of Hamas’s “brutal and unprecedented aggression, you said in clear words – we are on your side in the battle against the forces of darkness. Thank you for standing by us in the battle against the forces of darkness,” Netanyahu states.
Hamas is trying to “trample human dignity and will not hesitate to do so by any means. I can assure you that we will continue to fight them. Israel is a fortress of democracy in the Middle East,” he continues.
“We will not fall, nor will we surrender, we will win, and we will bring back all the living and the dead. We will make sure that Gaza no longer threatens Israel,” the prime minister adds.
