The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office responded to questions surrounding the delay in the start of the Holocaust Remembrance Day ceremony, attributing it to a temporary hold placed on the Prime Minister’s convoy due to a security issue.
“The Prime Minister’s motorcade was delayed this evening for a short time before arriving at the Holocaust Memorial Day opening ceremony due to a demand by security officials, due to a concern that an unidentified drone was in the area. When the concern was ruled out, the motorcade continued on its way,” the Prime Minister’s Office stated.
Speaking at the ceremony, Netanyahu condemned Hamas and vowed to eliminate the group in response to its atrocities. “We will destroy the Hamas monsters who perpetrated the cruelest massacre since the Holocaust. There will not be an Islamic caliphate, not in the south, not in the north, and not in Judea and Samaria,” Netanyahu stated.
Netanyahu also warned of the growing danger from Tehran, calling on the world to recognize the stakes involved. “The Iranian regime of horrors is a threat to the future of the entire human society. This is what will happen if it obtains nuclear weapons. The struggle with it will determine the fate of all free countries. Israel will not lose, give up, or surrender. What are nice words about the victory of the enlightenment, if at the moment of truth, you surrender to the barbarians?”
