(Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs) President Isaac Herzog on Tuesday made a live broadcast address from the Western Wall in Jerusalem to the hundreds of thousands of participants in the March for Israel in Washington. "Thank you, all people of good will, friends from different communities, faiths and denominations, who have gathered today for this massive show of solidarity. In the State of Israel's darkest moment you stood up and declared: Hineini, I am here. We are here. There is no greater and more just cause than this." "Today we come together, as a family, one big Mishpacha, to march for Israel. To march for the babies, the boys and girls, women and men viciously held hostage by Hamas. To march for the right of every Jew to live proudly and safely in America, in Israel and around the world. Above all, we come together to march for good over evil." "Eighty years ago, Jews came out of Auschwitz and vowed 'never again.'...Forty days ago, a terrorist army invaded the sovereign State of Israel and butchered hundreds upon hundreds of Israelis in the largest massacre since the Holocaust. Let us cry out, together: never again. Never again is now." "Once again in Jewish history we demand: Let our people go. While our loved ones are held captive in Gaza, and our soldiers are fighting for our beloved Israel - Jews all over the world are assaulted for being Jewish. The hatred, the lies, the brutality, the disgraceful outburst of ancient antisemitism are an embarrassment to all civilized people and nations." "Jews in America must be safe. Jews all over the world must be safe. I salute you, the women and men who stand up to massive hatred and pressure in the community or on campus. Just as you stand with us, we stand with you."
