Netanyahu at the cornerstone-laying ceremony for a memorial honoring fallen members of the Christian community:
“We are facing a global assault on the State of Israel and the IDF, in which we are portrayed as perpetrators of war crimes and persecutors of minorities.
This is the greatest absurdity imaginable to say about the most moral army in the world and about the State of Israel, which is an island of progress and security.
Israel is the only place in the Middle East where the Christian community is flourishing—but the world is being swept up in the big lie.”
