PM: In depths of grief, we’re together; we will not stop fighting terror
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asserts that “in the depths of our grief, we are all together” and that it will not prevent Israel from continuing to fight terror.
Speaking at a Memorial Day service at Mount Herzl, Netanyahu refers to terror as a “global disease raging around us and in distant lands as a result of the barbaric fanaticism of radical Islam.”
However, he clarifies that there exist “signs of change,” which stem from countries recognizing Israel’s right to defend itself.
