Israel’s ongoing war against Iranian-backed terrorist groups is the fight of “all who believe in freedom, justice and peace” Israeli Minister of Culture and Sports Miki Zohar told the inaugural JNS International Policy Summit in Jerusalem on Sunday evening.
“We gather her today in Jerusalem, the holy city, and I’m grateful for the opportunity today to address you in this significant week,” the Cabinet minister said, referencing the Jewish state’s upcoming memorial and independence days on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.
“These are days when the Israeli hearts beats with double intensity,” Zohar said. “This year, more than any other, these emotions feel sharper, more painful, and more real than ever. Since Oct. 7, the State of Israel has been facing one the most difficult times in its history.
“It is my duty not only to promote Israel’s creativity, but to ensure that Israel’s story is heard,” said the Jewish state’s culture minister. “From this place, in Jerusalem, I call on the world: Stand with us.”
