Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered remarks drawing a parallel between the Western powers' appeasement of Adolf Hitler before World War II and current international pressures on Israel regarding the Palestinian territories. Netanyahu recalled how Western countries ceded parts of Czechoslovakia to Hitler in an attempt to secure peace, a strategy he described as yielding and bowing to aggression that ultimately led to a devastating war. He warned that similar concessions to Palestinians, who have been offered a state for nearly a century and refused, would not bring peace but rather threaten the existence of the Jewish state. Netanyahu emphasized that the goal of such concessions is not the creation of a Palestinian state but the destruction of Israel. Additionally, he met with members of the ultra-Orthodox Avnet company of the Border Police, affirming that their service is a sacred duty ensuring Israel's continuity. Netanyahu also called for resistance against what he described as the 'mutilation of truth' in the discourse surrounding Israel's security and peace efforts.
