Netanyahu in Bulgaria: Militant Islam Attacks Arabs, Europeans and Israelis
(Prime Minister's Office) During a visit to Bulgaria on Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borissov: "This friendship goes back centuries. During your most recent visit to Israel, we unveiled a monument in Tel Aviv honoring the heroic rescue of Bulgarian Jews during the Holocaust. We'll never forget it. The people of Israel remember and appreciate the Bulgarian citizens who laid themselves down on the train tracks to prevent the deportation of Bulgarian Jews from Sofia." "We are part of the same civilization, a civilization that values liberty, peace and progress, and today this civilization is under attack, most notably by the forces of militant Islam. Militant Islam attacks all of us. It attacks Arabs. It attacks Europeans. It attacks Israelis. It attacks everyone. The most potent force of militant Islam is the Iranian regime. It's devouring one nation after the other - in Syria, in Lebanon, in Iraq and elsewhere. And it's killing civilians around the world. We uncovered recently several Iranian attempts to launch terrorist attacks on the soil of Europe."
