If Israel is forced to stand alone against the enemy, this is what we will do – Netanyahu

The prime minister regrets that his people were helpless during the Holocaust, according to the Times of Israel.

Regardless of the pressure on his administration to end the war, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that Israel will not cease fighting in Gaza until it defeats Hamas.

He lamented that his people “were totally defenceless” when the Nazis massacred six million Jews during World War II since no country came to their rescue, at a Holocaust Remembrance Day ceremony held at the Yad Vashem memorial in Jerusalem.

Speaking in English, he says, “Today again, we face enemies bent on our destruction. I say to the leaders of the world: no amount of pressure… will stop Israel from defending itself. As prime minister, I pledge here today from Jerusalem on this Holocaust Remembrance Day, if Israel is forced to stand alone, Israel will stand alone.”

“We will defeat our genocidal enemies. Never again is now,” he states.

Speaking Hebrew, Netanyahu says “During the Holocaust, we were muted and defenseless. We will not go back to those dark times.”

In response to reports that he and other senior Israeli officials could receive arrest warrants from the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netanyahu claims that such moves “undermine” the “most basic right” of Israelis to self-defense and “place a grave stain on the mere concept of international justice.”

“From here in Jerusalem, I am sending a very clear-cut message: you will not chain our hands and even if Israel has to stand alone, it will stand alone and will continue to fight our enemies until victory,” he declares.
