Israel will stand alone if it must: Netanyahu

In an apparent message to US President Joe Biden, who has opted to suspend some weapons deliveries to Israel, Netanyahu has posted a video of an address he delivered on Sunday to commemorate the Holocaust, Al Jazeera reports.

In the speech, Netanyahu said, “No amount of pressure … will stop Israel from defending itself” and achieving its objectives.

“Eighty years ago in the Holocaust, the Jewish people were totally defenceless against those who sought our destruction. No nation came to our aid,” he said.

“I pledge here today from Jerusalem on this Holocaust Remembrance Day: If Israel is forced to stand alone, Israel will stand alone. But we know we are not alone because countless decent people around the world support our just cause,” Netanyahu continued.
