Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, has released his “happy and joyful” Easter message to Christians in Israel, the United States (US) and across the world.
In his message, the Israeli PM listed countries where Christians suffer “persecution”, and said, the Christian Community in Israel is “growing and prospering” because Israel protects them.
He said, all over the “Middle East, Syria, Lebanon, Nigeria, Turkey and beyond”, Christians suffer persecution.
In his Easter message on X, PM Netanyahu wrote: “To our Christian friends in Israel, the United States and around the world, we wish you a blessed and joyful Easter.
“Christians are persecuted across the Middle East, in Syria, Lebanon, Nigeria, Turkey and beyond. But in our region, Israel alone protects our Christian community which is growing and prospering.”
Netanyahu said, despite missiles being fired at Jerusalem, the Israeli Capital, and the United States (US) and Israel are standing “firm the Iranian regime and its terror proxies”, Israel will not stop to allow all faiths the “freedom of worship”.
He assured, Israel will remain “unwavering” in “defending life and safeguarding liberty”.
Netanyahu further wrote: “In this land where the story began, as missiles are fired at our capital, the holy city of Jerusalem, and as the US and Israel stand firm against the Iranian regime and its terror proxies, we continue to steadfastly protect the freedom of worship for all faiths, especially at this sacred time.
“Even under fire, our commitment is unwavering: to defend life, to safeguard liberty, and to ensure that every believer can pray in peace.”
Netanyahu prayed, “May the message of renewal, hope, and faith shine brightly in your homes and hearts.”
