Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu wishes a Merry Christmas to Christians around the world
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu extended warm Christmas wishes to Christians around the world and expressed gratitude for their unwavering support amidst Israel’s ongoing conflicts with terror groups. In a video message posted on Christmas Eve on his social media account, Netanyahu conveyed his blessings for a Merry Christmas to the Christian community in Israel and globally from the Holy Land.
The Prime Minister’s message comes at a time when Israeli forces are engaged in battles against terror organizations such as Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon. These conflicts escalated following Hamas’ surprise attack on October 7, 2023, which triggered military responses from Israel.
Acknowledging the challenges Israel faces on multiple fronts, Netanyahu emphasized the significant support from the Christian community worldwide. He commended their steadfastness and forceful backing as Israel defends its civilization against barbarism. Despite the ongoing struggles, Netanyahu reiterated Israel’s commitment to seeking peace with those willing to reciprocate while ensuring the defense of the Jewish state, representing a shared heritage.
Israel is home to over 180,000 Christians, constituting approximately 1.8% of the country’s diverse population. The Christian community in Israel witnessed a 0.6% growth last year, reflecting its resilience and presence within the nation.
Netanyahu underscored Israel’s role in combating evil and tyranny globally while acknowledging the continued battle ahead. With assurances of eventual triumph aided by support and divine guidance, he concluded his message from Jerusalem, the city of peace, extending wishes for a joyous Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
