Essentially about the war in Gaza, but about something else. It came from the foreign minister of Iran’s proxy, Hezbollah. And he said this, this is not a war with Israel. Israel, he said, is merely a tool. The main war, the real war, is with America. Iran’s regime has been fighting America from the moment it came to power. In
It stormed the American embassy. It held scores of Americans hostage for 444 days. Since then, Iran’s terrorist proxies have targeted America in the Middle East and beyond. In Beirut, they killed 241 US servicemen. In Africa, they bombed American embassies. In Iraq, they supplied explosives to maim and kill thousands of American soldiers in America. In America, they actually sent death quads. They sent death to murder a former Secretary of State and a former national security adviser. And as we recently learned, they even brazenly threatened to assassinate President Trump. But Iran understands that to truly challenge America, it must first conquer the Middle East. And for this, it uses its many proxies, including the Houthis, Hezbollah and Hamas. Yet in the heart of the Middle East, standing in Iran’s way is one proud pro American democracy. My country, the state of Israel. That’s why. That’s why the mobs in Tehran chant death to Israel before they chant death to America. For Iran, Israel is first. America is next. So when Israel fights Hamas, we’re fighting Iran. When we fight Hezbollah, we’re fighting Iran. When we fight the Houthis, we’re fighting Iran. And when we fight Iran, we’re fighting the most radical and murderous enemy of the United States of America. And one more thing, when Israel acts to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, nuclear weapons that could destroy Israel and threaten every American city, every city that you come from, we’re not only protecting ourselves, we’re protecting you. Yeah, yeah. My friends, if you remember one thing, one thing from the speech, remember this. Our enemies are your enemies, Our fight is your fight, and our victory will be your victory. Yeah. Ladies and gentlemen, that victory is insight. Israel’s defeat of Hamas will be a powerful blow to Iran S axis of another part of that axis. Hezbollah attacked Israel on October 8th. A day after the Hamas attack, it has launched thousands of missiles and drones against US. 80,000 of our citizens in northern Israel evacuated their homes, becoming effectively refugees in their own land. We are committed to returning them home. We prefer to achieve this diplomatically. But let me be clear, Israel will do whatever it must do to restore security to our northern border and we turn our people safely to their homes. Last Friday, 1/3 Iranian proxy the hoodies attacked Tel Aviv with a dead, deadly drone. It exploded a few 100 feet from the American, killing one person and injuring 9 on Saturday. I authorize a swift response to that attack. All our enemies should know this. Those who attack Israel will pay a very heavy price and as we defend ourselves. And as we defend ourselves on all fronts, I know that America has our back, and I thank you for it. All sides of the aisle. Thank you, my friends. For decades, America has provided Israel with generous military assistance and a grateful Israel has provided America with critical intelligence that saved many lives. We’ve jointly developed some of the most sophisticated weapons on earth. I choose my words carefully. We’ve jointly developed some of the most sophisticated weapons on earth that help protect both our countries. And we also help we also help keep American boots. We help keep Americans boots off the ground while protecting our protecting our shared interests in the Middle East. I deeply appreciate America’s support, including in this current war, but this is an exceptional moment. Fast tracking U.S. military aid can dramatically expedite an end to the war in Gaza and help prevent a broader war in the Middle East and World War
As Britain fought on the front lines of civilization, Winston Churchill appealed to Americans with these famous words, the tools and we’ll finish the job. Today is Israel fights on the frontline of civilization. I too appeal to America. Give us the tools faster and we’ll finish the job faster. My dear friends, the war in Gaza could end tomorrow if Hamas surrenders, disarms and returns all the hostages. But if they don’t, Israel will fight until we destroy Hamas military capabilities and its rule in Gaza and bring all our hostages home. That’s what total victory means, and we will settle for nothing less. The day, the day after we defeat Hamas, a new Gaza can emerge. My vision for that day is of a demilitarized and deradicalized Gaza. Israel does not seek to resettle Gaza, but for the foreseeable future we must retain overriding security control there to prevent the resurgence of terror, to ensure that Gaza never again poses a threat to Israel. Gaza should have a civilian administration run by Palestinians who do not seek to destroy Israel. That’s not too much to ask. It’s a it’s a fundamental thing that we have a right to demand and to receive. A new generation of Palestinians must no longer be taught to hate Jews, but rather to live in peace with us. Those twin words, demilitarization and de radicalization, those two concepts were applied to Germany and Japan after World War 2 and that led to decades of peace, prosperity and security following our victory. Following our victory, with the help of regional partners, the demilitarization and de radicalization of Gaza can also lead to a future of security, prosperity and peace. That’s my vision for Gaza. Now. Here’s my vision for the broader Middle East. It’s also shaped in part by what we saw in the aftermath of World War
After that war, America forge a security alliance in Europe to counter the growing Soviet threat. Likewise, America and Israel today can forge a security alliance in the Middle East to counter the growing Iranian threat. All countries that are at peace with Israel and all those countries who will make peace with Israel should be invited to join this alliance. We saw a glimpse. We saw a glimpse of potential alliance on April 14th, led by the United States. More than half a dozen nations worked alongside Israel to help neutralize hundreds of missiles and drones launched by Iran against us. Thank you, President Biden for bringing that coalition together. The new alliance I envisioned would be a natural extension of the groundbreaking Abraham Accords. Those accords saw peace forged between Israel and four Arab countries, and they were supported by Republicans and Democrats alike. We could call I have a name for this new alliance. I think we should call it the Abraham Alliance. I want to thank President Trump for his leadership in brokering the historic Abraham Accords. Like a Americans, Israelis were relieved that President Trump emerged safe and sound from that dastardly attack on him. Dastardly attack on American democracy. There is no room for political violence and democracies. I also want to thank President Trump for all the things he did for Israel, from recognizing Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights to confronting Iran’s aggression, to recognizing Jerusalem as our capital and moving the American embassy there. That’s Jerusalem, our eternal capital, never to be divided again. My dear friends, Democrats and Republicans, despite these times of upheaval, I’m hopeful about the future. I’m hopeful about Israel because my people, the Jewish people, emerge from the depths of hell, from dispossession and genocide. And against all odds, we restored our sovereignty in our ancient homeland. We built a powerful and vibrant democracy, a democracy that pushes the boundaries of innovation for the betterment of all humanity. I’m hopeful about America because I’m hopeful about Americans. I know how much the people of this country have sacrificed to defend freedom. America will be continued to be a force for light and good in a dark and dangerous world for free peoples everywhere. America remains the beacon of liberty its extraordinary founders envisioned back in
Working together, I’m confident that our two nations will Vanquish the tyrants and terrorists who threaten us both. As Israel’s Prime Minister, I promise you this, No matter how long it takes, no, no matter how difficult the road ahead, Israel will not relent. Israel will not bend. We will defend our land. We will defend our people. We will fight until we achieve VV over liberty. Rather, victory of liberty over tyranny, victory of life over death, victory of good over evil. That’s our solemn commitment. And we will continue to work with the United States and our Arab partners to transform a troubled region from a backwater of repression, poverty, and war into a thriving Oasis of dignity, prosperity, and peace. In this noble mission, as in many others, Israel will always remain America’s indispensable ally through thick and thin. Yeah. Through thick and thin, in good times and in bad, Israel will always be your loyal friend and your steadfast partner. On behalf behalf of the people of Israel, I came here today to say thank you, America. Thank you for your support and solidarity. Thank you for standing in Israel with Israel in our hour of need. Together, together, we shall defend our common civilization. Together, we shall secure a brilliant future for both our nations. May God bless Israel, May God bless America, and May God bless the great alliance between Israel and America forever. Thank you. Hi.
