President Herzog stated that freedom is not protected by words alone, but requires courage, vigilance, and a willingness to act when necessary.

He emphasized that delaying Iran's nuclear threat, intercepting each Iranian missile, and neutralizing each drone helps protect innocent lives not only in Israel but across the region. “We are deeply grateful to the brave Israeli soldiers and women who bear this burden with courage and determination,” he said.

Calling for the immediate release of the Israeli hostages, Herzog declared: “This is a fight for the security of the Middle East and the world. This is a fight for a more peaceful future in the Middle East. This is a fight for the values of the free world. Iran must not have nuclear capabilities.”
