Prime Minister Netanyahu met with Christian soldiers and commanders from various units of the Israel Defense Forces

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated during the meeting:

"I am in the Prime Minister's Office with an outstanding group of young men and women. These are Christian soldiers, men and women serving in the Israel Defense Forces. They hold every important position in our incredible army and are doing incredible work."

This is completely at odds with what is being presented from the outside. It's not just that Israel is fighting for the rights of Christians in the Middle East, but that Israel has Christian soldiers who are fighting to defend Israel and our Christian brothers throughout the region and beyond.

I must say, I was impressed by their personal stories, their dedication, their sacrifice, their achievements. Israel is the only country in the Middle East where the Christian community is thriving, growing, and expanding. And it is very, very successful, thanks to incredible men and women. And I want to pay tribute to all of you.

Thank you for coming.
