01:17Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, today at the Prime Minister's office in Jerusalem,
01:23met with a bipartisan delegation of U.S. Senators led by Lindsey Graham.
01:28Prime Minister Netanyahu, I deeply appreciate the visit by Senators Graham and Blumenthal
01:34on this day of commemoration, October 7.
01:38It was the worst attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust, but unlike the Holocaust,
01:44we fight back.
01:46We're fighting like lions with the support of the American government and the American
01:50people and its representatives here.
01:53I want to thank you both for your stellar support for Israel throughout the war.
01:59U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal, thank you, Mr. Prime Minister.
02:04We're honored to be with you and we appreciate your giving us this opportunity to speak with
02:09you on this really agonizingly difficult day for your country and the people of Israel
02:14and all of us in the United States who feel so deeply that it was an absolutely abhorrent
02:19inhumane attack on the Jewish people.
02:22We're here to say we have Israel's back and Israel has the right to defend itself.
02:28U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, the reason people were killed on October 7 was they were Jewish.
02:35We've seen this movie before.
02:37We don't want to see any more of those movies.
02:40Living in their own homeland, you said something that really struck me.
02:45No one should be a refugee in their own country.
02:48They are going back to the north, folks.
02:51They are going back to those kibbutzes.
02:54Whatever it takes to get your people back in their homes, you do it.
02:59To my friends in France, you've got this as backwards.
03:03You should be doubling down on helping Israel because the people that want to destroy Israel
03:08also want to destroy the French people.
03:11I get that.
03:12He gets that.
03:14You're fighting our fight.
03:16We're going to help you with your military needs.
03:18The Twin Towers fell not because of a hurricane, because radical Islamist terrorists killed
03:243,000 of us on a single day.
03:27And they would kill all of us if the cold.
03:30If Iran ever got a nuclear weapon, they would use it.
03:35The question would be who would they use it against first?
03:38Me?
03:39You?
03:40Saudi Arabia?
03:41We can never let that happen.
03:43So we're going to help you.
03:45Also attending the meeting were the Prime Minister's Foreign Policy Advisor, Dr. Ophir Falk,
03:52the Prime Minister's spokesperson, Dr. Omar Dostri, and the head of the Ministry of Foreign
03:58Affairs North America Desk, Dor Shefira.

04:43the intense combat on multiple fronts which they have been taking part in for almost a
04:48year.
04:49Prime Minister Netanyahu then spoke with fighters from the division.
04:54Prime Minister Netanyahu, I am here with IDF soldiers on the northern border.
05:00Several meters from here, over the border, their fellow soldiers are dismantling the
05:05terrorist infrastructure that Hezbollah had prepared in order to attack our communities.
05:10I told them, you are heroes worthy of commendation.
05:14You, together with your fellow soldiers, IDF fighters and the security forces in Gaza,
05:21Judea and Samaria, throughout the region, are doing amazing things.
05:26You are lions.
05:28A year ago, we took a terrible blow.
05:31In the 12 months since then, we have changed the reality across the board.
05:36The entire world is astonished by the blows you are landing on our enemies.
05:41I salute you and tell you, you are the generation of victory.
05:46Together we will fight and together we will win, with GD's help.
05:51The Prime Minister was accompanied by his Chief of Staff, Zachir Reberman, his Military

06:03Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, today, Israel is defending itself on several fronts
06:10against the enemies of civilization.
06:12We are fighting in Gaza against Hamas, the savages who murdered,
06:17raped, beheaded and burned our people on October 7th.
06:22We are fighting in Lebanon against Hezbollah, the most heavily armed terror organization
06:27in the world, which was planning an even greater massacre on October 7th on our northern border
06:33and that has located Israeli towns and cities for nearly a year.
06:38We are fighting against the Houthis in Yemen and the Shiite militias in Iraq and Syria
06:44that together have launched hundreds of drones and missile attacks against Israel.
06:49We are fighting against terrorists in Judea and Samaria,
06:53who are trying to murder civilians in the heart of our cities.
06:57And we are fighting against Iran, which last week fired over 200 ballistic missiles directly
07:03at Israel and which stands behind this seven-front war against Israel.
07:09As Israel fights the forces of barbarism led by Iran,
07:13all civilized countries should be standing firmly by Israel's side.
07:17Yet President Macron and other Western leaders are now calling for arms embargoes against Israel.
07:24Shell on them, is Iran imposing an arms embargo on Hezbollah,
07:29on the Houthis, on Hamas and on its other proxies?
07:33Of course not.
07:34This axis of terror stands together.
07:37But countries who supposedly oppose this terror axis call for an arms embargo on Israel.
07:43What a disgrace.
07:45Israel will win with or without their support.
07:48But their shame will continue long after the war is won.
07:52For in defending ourselves against this barbarism,
07:55Israel is defending civilization against those who seek to impose a dark age of fanaticism
08:01on all of us.
08:03Rest assured, Israel will fight until the battle is won,
08:07for our sake and for the sake of peace and security in the world.
08:12I have a message.
08:15I have a message for President Macron.
08:18Today, Israel is defending itself on seven fronts against the enemies of civilization.
08:25We're fighting in Gaza against Hamas,
08:27those savages who murdered, raped, beheaded and burned our people on October 7th.
08:33We're fighting in Lebanon against Hezbollah,
08:35the most heavily armed terror organization in the world,
08:38which was planning an even greater massacre than October 7th on our northern border
08:43and that has rocketed Israeli towns and cities for nearly a year.
08:47We're fighting against the Houthis in Yemen and the Shiite militias in Iraq and Syria
08:52that together have launched hundreds of drones and missile attacks against Israel.
08:57We're fighting against terrorists in Judea and Samaria
08:59who are trying to murder civilians in the heart of our cities.
09:03And we're fighting against Iran,
09:05which last week fired over 200 ballistic missiles directly at Israel
09:09and which stands behind the seven-front war against Israel.
09:13As Israel fights the forces of barbarism led by Iran,
09:17all civilized countries should be standing firmly by Israel's side.
09:21Yet President Macron and some other western leaders
09:25are now calling for an arms embargo against Israel.
09:30Shame on them.
09:31Is Iran imposing an arms embargo on Hezbollah, on the Houthis,
09:35on Hamas and on its other proxies?
09:38Of course not.
09:39The axis of terror stands together.
09:42But countries who supposedly oppose this terror axis
09:46call for an arms embargo on Israel.
09:49What a disgrace.
09:51Well, let me tell you this.
09:53Israel will win with or without their support.
09:56But their shame will continue long after the war is won.
09:59For in defending ourselves against this barbarism,
10:02Israel is defending civilizations
10:04against those who seek to impose a dark age of fanaticism on all of us.
10:09Rest assured, Israel will fight until the battle is won
10:13for our sake and for the sake of the peace and security of the entire world.
