“Israel has no greater friend then America, and America has no greater friend than Israel”, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at AIPAC 2017

LISTEN NOW! (Or WATCH FULL PROGRAM!)It is such an honor to have Israel’s Prime Minister speaking about America’s support of Israel. At this year’s annual AIPAC event, Prime Minister Netanyahu shared his condolences for America’s support as well as AIPAC’s long standing efforts to make this conference a reality. “Thank you to the bipartisan leadership of Congress and to the many members of the House and Senate who have come to show support of the great U.S.-Israel Alliance.” The Prime Minister wastes no time is expressing his deep gratitude for America’s support of Israel. “Israel has no greater friend than America, and America has no greater friend than Israel”.

As other respected leaders address the issues of safety in the region and the peace and safety of Israel, Prime Minister Netanyahu also comments on the realities involving Iran. “I’m confident that the United States and Israel will stand together, shoulder to shoulder, to ensure that light triumphs over darkness, and hope triumphs over despair. That means preventing Iran from ever, from ever developing nuclear weapons. That is our policy. It will always be our policy.”

As the Prime Minister comments on Israel’s robust creativity in its business sector and ingenuity, he also comments on this only being possible because of America’s support. “I want to thank the President for his strong support for Israel. I want to thank Vice President Pence for his warm words for Israel last night.” He continues, “You see that expressed in Ambassador Haley standing up for what’s right for Israel, and for the truth at the United Nations.” As leaders speak of America’s strong commitment to defend Israel, the Prime Minister comments on the actions that demonstrate those words. “You see it in the budget requests submitted by President Trump. It leaves military aid to Israel fully funded even as the fiscal belt is pulled tighter. And, we appreciate that!”

As the Prime Minister shares his closing remarks, he comments on Israel’s steadfast willingness to work with all of their peaceful neighbors. “Israel is committed to working with President Trump, to advance peace with the Palestinians and all of our neighbors.” He continues, “I believe that the common dangers faced by Israel and many of our Arab neighbors now offer a rare opportunity to build bridges toward a better future.”

These are such empowering moments for each of us to recognize the urgency to stand with Israel during this critical hour in the world. America stands with Israel! Israel stands with America! Be encouraged in your perspective of Israel as you see the urgency for action and prayer in defense of Israel, and so much more.
