Prime Minister Netanyahu delivered a speech to Congress, marking his first appearance since the October 7 assault on Israel. In his address, he expressed his support for the families of the hostages and commended the Israeli soldiers for their remarkable bravery. He commended President Biden for his endorsement of Israel and his assistance to the families of hostages, affirming their commitment to persist until all their relatives are safely returned.
Netanyahu expressed gratitude to President Biden for his sincere backing of Israel following the attack, noting that he promptly deployed two air carriers to the Middle East as a deterrent against a larger conflict. In addition, he expressed gratitude towards the courageous soldiers of Israel, namely Lieutenant AI Ruen AB, Master Sergeant Ashraf Al Bakiri, Lieutenant Assa Sofer, and Lieutenant Jonathan Benu.
The Israeli soldiers, such as Lieutenant AI Ruen, Master Sergeant Ashraf Al Bakiri, Lieutenant Assa Sofer, and Lieutenant Jonathan Benu, have demonstrated remarkable bravery. These soldiers have demonstrated their bravery and selflessness in order to safeguard their comrades and the citizens of Israel. The Israeli government is making vigorous efforts to secure the release of other Israelis held hostage. The suffering experienced by these families is indescribable.
Israel has emerged with great strength, as the courageous men and women of the IDF have joined forces from all sectors of Israeli society. The Jewish warriors of ancient times, including Moshe, the father of Ya, played a crucial role in the creation of the state of Israel following the Holocaust. Moshe served with excellence for a period of twenty years and successfully raised a total of six aesthetically pleasing offspring. He met his demise when a booby trap mine detonated in a tunnel shaft during his son’s funeral.
To overcome formidable adversaries, one must possess both bravery and a clear understanding of the situation. Several anti-Israel demonstrators align themselves with malevolent entities, such as Hamas, who committed sexual assault, and homicide. They fail to differentiate between those who specifically target terrorists from those who target civilians, as well as between the democratic state of Israel and the terrorist organisation Hamas.
Iran is providing financial support and actively encouraging demonstrations against Israel in the United States, with the intention of causing disruption and inciting the burning of American flags. The fraternity members at the University of North Carolina defended the American flag from these demonstrators. The presidents of Harvard, Penn, and MIT have not publicly denounced the demands for the extermination of Jews, despite being accused of spreading baseless anti-Semitic falsehoods that resulted in discrimination, widespread killings, and ultimately, the Holocaust.
Anti-Semitism, the longest-standing form of hatred in the world, has been directed towards the Jewish State in recent times. The alarming surge of anti-Semitism in the United States and globally is deeply disturbing, and it is imperative to unequivocally denounce and combat it in all circumstances. Criticism of the Jewish State is often voiced by individuals who dress in elegant silk robes and speak in a lofty manner.
The Prime Minister further said that the International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor alleges that Israel intentionally targeted civilians during the Gaza conflict. The IDF has implemented extensive measures to evacuate Palestinian civilians, employing various means such as sending millions of messages and phone calls to ensure their safety and prevent any harm. Nevertheless, Hamas persistently endangers Palestinian civilians by launching rockets, engaging in internal violence, and even resorting to violence against those attempting to flee the conflict. Hamas officials have openly claimed that Palestinian women and children are highly skilled at serving as human shields.
Most Americans have not been swayed by Hamas’s propaganda and still maintain their support for Israel. According to Colonel John Spencer, who specialises in studying urban warfare at West Point, Israel has taken more measures to prevent civilians from harms way than any other military force in history. The conflict in Gaza has one of the lowest ratios of casualties between combatants and non-combatants ever recorded in the history of urban warfare.
The ICC’s unfounded allegations are perilous and deceitful. If Israel’s actions are restricted, the United States will be the next target. The capacity of all democratic nations to combat terrorism will be jeopardised, that is why Israel must consistently safeguard its own security. Iran perceives America as its primary enemy, given its role as the protector of Western civilisation and its status as the world’s preeminent superpower.
Iran has employed multiple proxies, such as Hamas, to confront the United States. They have caused the deaths of 241 American servicemen in Africa, carried out bombings on American embassies in Iraq, and provided explosives that resulted in the deaths of numerous American soldiers within the United States. Israel is located in the central region of the Middle East. When Israel engages in conflict with Hamas, it is essentially combating Iran, which is considered the most extremist and lethal adversary of the United States of America. Israel is dedicated to safeguarding its own security and the well-being of its citizens, and our triumph will be synonymous with our success.
Israel’s successful military campaign against Hamas will significantly weaken Iran’s network of terrorist activities, known as the AIS of Terror. Furthermore, the Hamas attack on Israel has resulted in the launch of numerous missiles and drones targeting our targeting our citizens who eventually fled to safety. But we are dedicated to repatriating them and reinstating security along our northern border.
The United States has supported Israel with military aid and vital intelligence, and together we have collaboratively engineered some of the most advanced weaponry on the planet. Accelerating the provision of military assistance from the United States can significantly speed up the resolution of the war in Gaza and contribute to the prevention of a wider conflict in the Middle East. Israel will continue to engage in combat until Hamas’s military capabilities and control over Gaza are completely eradicated, and all hostages are safely brought back home, provided that Hamas surrenders, disarms, and releases the hostages.
Israel’s objective is to establish a Gaza Strip that is both demilitarised and deradicalized, with the goal of eliminating any potential threat to Israel after the defeat of Hamas. We hold the belief that it is a fundamental entitlement to have a civilian administration led by Palestinians who have no intention of annihilating Israel. The Prime Minister said he foresees a future in the wider Middle East that is characterised by security, prosperity, and peace, influenced by the consequences of World War II.
Natanyahu recognises the significance of establishing a security alliance between the United States and Israel in order to confront the escalating Iranian menace. The proponents propose the establishment of a new coalition, known as the Abraham Alliance, as a logical progression of the Abraham Accords, which successfully brokered peace between Israel and four Arab nations.
He further express optimism for the future, affirming Israel’s unwavering commitment to protect its territory and citizens. he also emphasises Israel’s ongoing collaboration with the United States and Arab allies to bring about a significant transformation in the region. This transformation aims to turn the region, which is currently characterised by oppression, poverty, and conflict, into a flourishing haven of self-respect, economic well-being, and harmony.
Finally, he did conveyed appreciation to America for their assistance and unity, affirming that Israel will consistently be America’s crucial partner, regardless of the circumstances. He professes his desire for divine blessings upon both Israel and America and expresses optimism for the ongoing prosperity of the strong alliance between the two nations.
