Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has declared that Israel will stand alone and defend itself.
Netanyahu, however, expressed hope that Israel will defeat its “genocidal enemies.”
He spoke at the opening ceremony for Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Day.
Posting on X, the Prime Minister wrote: “Eighty years ago, in the Holocaust, the Jewish people were totally defenseless against those who sought our destruction.
“Today, we again confront enemies bent on our destruction. I say to the leaders of the world, no amount of pressure, no decision by any international forum, will stop Israel from defending itself.
“As the Prime Minister of Israel – the one and only Jewish state – I pledge here today from Jerusalem on this Holocaust Remembrance Day:
“If Israel is forced to stand alone, Israel will stand alone.
“But we know we are not alone because countless decent people around the world support our just cause. And I say to you, we will defeat our genocidal enemies. Never again is now.”
Israel is currently fighting against Iran and Hamas militant group.
