Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday extended greetings to Israel’s Christian friends worldwide in honor of 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 wrote on X.
He stated that even in wartime the Jewish state continues to protect the freedom of worship for all faiths, “especially at this sacred time.”
“Our commitment is unwavering: to defend life, to safeguard liberty, and to ensure that every believer can pray in peace. May the message of renewal, hope, and faith shine brightly in your homes and hearts. Happy Easter.”
Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar also extended his greetings to Christian communities around the world.
“To Western churches—Catholic and Protestant—celebrating Easter, I wish a joyful and blessed holiday. To Eastern churches marking the beginning of Holy Week, I send my heartfelt wishes for a meaningful and reflective time, culminating in a joyous Easter,” the top diplomat tweeted.
