Netanyahu spoke on Friday during a meeting with evangelical community leaders in Florida, where he described Israel as the only country in the world capable of protecting Christians.
He said he sees a global battle being waged against Israel and against the Judeo-Christian tradition. According to him, this battle is primarily driven by two forces: radical Shiite Islam and radical Sunni Islam.
Netanyahu explained that this includes the axis led by Iran, which he acknowledged has been significantly weakened but still exists, as well as the Sunni axis led by the Muslim Brotherhood, which he said permeates many regions.
He stated that these forces operate across Europe, the United States, and Africa, including Nigeria. He added that Israel is aware that Christians are being persecuted across the Middle East, in countries such as Syria and Lebanon, as well as in Nigeria, Turkey, and beyond.
Netanyahu further said that there is one country that protects the Christian community, enables it to grow, defends it, and ensures that it thrives, and that country, he said, is Israel. He emphasized that there is no other country that does so.
He noted that Israel is joining an effort to establish a coalition of nations that support Christian communities around the world, particularly those that are beleaguered and deserving of assistance.
He added that just as others are helping Israel, Israel also wants to help in return and has the capability to do so. He cited intelligence support in Africa and various means in the Middle East, without listing them individually.
Netanyahu concluded by saying that this initiative represents Israel’s agenda and that it is a major part of that agenda.
