In a passionate address during the nation’s annual Holocaust Remembrance Day, Benjamin Netanyahu, as the Prime Minister of Israel, the world’s sole Jewish state, solemnly avowed in Jerusalem today: should Israel find itself compelled to stand solitary, it shall do so unwaveringly. Rebuffing international pressures to cease hostilities in Gaza, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphatically asserted that should Israel face isolation, it shall endure resolutely, steadfast in its commitment to self-defense. Netanyahu articulated this stance following President Joe Biden’s declaration, wherein he affirmed that Washington would abstain from supplying offensive armaments to Israel for the operation in Rafah, the southern enclave of Gaza.

“As the Prime Minister of Israel, the sole Jewish nation on Earth, I avow today, from the heart of Jerusalem, that if Israel must stand alone, so be it,” declared Benjamin Netanyahu in a fervent address on the nation’s annual Holocaust Remembrance Day. Alone, we may stand. Yet, we find solace in the solidarity of countless civilized individuals worldwide who champion our just cause, and I assure you, we shall prevail over our genocidal adversaries. Reflecting on the Holocaust eighty years ago, when the Jewish populace stood defenseless against the onslaught of Hitler’s Nazi regime, Netanyahu lamented the absence of assistance from any quarter. Today, we confront once more those intent on our annihilation. To world leaders, I declare: no pressure, no decree from any international assembly shall deter Israel from safeguarding its existence. If need be, we shall confront adversity alone. If necessary, we shall contend even with our bare hands. Yet, let it be known, we possess far more than mere resolve.”
