Netanyahu: Israel ‘Rose and Fought Like Lions’ Following October 7

EXCERPT:

NETANYAHU: “I want to give you an idea of what this means for a country of 10 million. Proportionately, this is equal to 40,000 innocent Americans slaughtered in less than 24 hours. That’s 16 times 9/11. 16 9/11s that occurred not very far from here. On that darkest of days, our enemies expected us to collapse. Well, we didn’t collapse. Instead, we rose and fought like lions. [applause] For the past three years, our heroic soldiers have fought day in and day out in a seven-front war. Do you know any other country the size of New Jersey capable of fighting a seven-front war? And for three years? Seven fronts. Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, Iran, militias in Iraq, militias in Syria, Palestinian terrorists in Judea and Samaria. They all ganged up on us to wipe us off the face of the Earth. They failed. Because, instead of collapsing, we delivered crippling blows to all of them. With our great American friends, we crushed Iran’s army, navy, air force, and nuclear facilities.”
