Bibi tells Evangelical leaders Israel is part of effort to protect Christians worldwide

[IsraelTimes] Netanyahu tells delegation in Florida that Turkey is among persecuting countries

Israel is joining an emerging alliance of countries "that support Christian communities around the world, beleaguered communities who deserve our help," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Evangelical Christian leaders Wednesday in Palm Beach, Florida.

"In Africa, with intel, in the Middle East, with a lot of means that I won’t itemize each one," he said, without explaining what this new "alliance" was in practice, or what other countries or parties were involved.

"But this is what our agenda is, it’s a main part of our agenda, and it’s going to continue with greater force and greater might in this coming year," he said.

Netanyahu was in the US to meet with President Donald Trump
...The cad! Twice caught beating wimmin!...
and other brass hats, to discuss the situations in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
and the West Bank as well as the simmering conflicts with Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
and Hezbollah in Leb
...home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade....
Netanyahu went on to accuse regional rival The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...a NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all....
member, but not the most reliable...

of being among the countries that persecute Christians: "We are conscious of the fact that Christians are being persecuted across the Middle East, in Syria, in Lebanon, in Nigeria, in Turkey and beyond."

Turkey is home to some 100,000 Christians. Some Ottoman Turkish Christians say that their community is still struggling against inequality and a sense of exclusion under the rule of President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important...
Turning towards issues within the US, Netanyahu called the fight for support among young conservatives in America amid increased antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment part of the "eighth front" in the war Israel is fighting.

"That’s the front for the hearts and minds of people, especially young people in the West, and for me, especially in the United States. And for me, especially on the Conservative wing of the United States," he said.

"This is a theater that has to be engaged with great force," he said.

Hours later, Netanyahu spoke at The Shul of Bal Harbour, where he told the parents of Master Sgt. Ran Gvili, the last slain hostage in Gaza, "We shall return him. He will be back."

Netanyahu told the synagogue that "President Trump has been unflinching; he never wavered" in his support of Israel.

"When the president of the United States and the prime minister of Israel have no daylight between them, wondrous things can happen," said Netanyahu, days after his consequential meeting with Trump, which a senior Israeli official who was present at the meeting told The Times of Israel was "the best" of the six they have held since the former returned to office.

Netanyahu then told the crowd of Florida Jewish leaders that Israel is committed to fighting the "eighth front" — the battle for truth and against antisemitism — with the same intensity as the physical wars.

After speaking at the synagogue, Netanyahu and his wife Sara were spotted attending a New Year’s Eve party hosted by President Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort to ring in 2026.

He was scheduled to take off for Israel on Thursday afternoon (US time) and slated to land early Friday afternoon (Israel time).
