Israel National News reports: “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued Christmas greetings on Tuesday to the Christian communities in Israel and around the world and thanked Christians for their support of Israel.
‘My dear Christian friends, as you gather with your family and friends this Christmas, I wish the Christian community in Israel and around the world blessings for a Merry Christmas from the Holy Land,’ Netanyahu opened.
The Prime Minister expressed appreciation for Christian support: ‘At a time when Israel is fighting on seven fronts, we deeply appreciate the steadfast support of our Christian friends around the world. You’ve stood by our side, you’ve stood by our side resiliently, consistently, forcefully as Israel defends our civilization against barbarism.’
He added: ‘The people of Israel are united in defending our nation against those bent on our destruction. We seek peace with all those who wish peace with us, but we will do whatever is necessary to defend the one and only Jewish state, the repository and the source of our common heritage.’
‘Israel leads the world in fighting the forces of evil and tyranny, but our battle is not yet over. With your support, and with God’s help, I assure you, we shall prevail,’ Netanyahu concluded.”
