Israeli president Herzog calls for world support in fight against enemies

 Israeli President Isaac Herzog has called on the world to support Israel in the fight against its enemies, as he spoke during a ceremony to mark one year since the Hamas terrorist attack.

‘This is a scar on humanity.

This is a scar on the face of the Earth,’’ he said on Monday at the 2023 Nova music festival near the Gaza border.

Terrorists from the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas and other extremist groups stormed across the border exactly one year ago, killing more than 1,200 people at the festival.

Herzog said that the world has to realise and understand that in order to change the course of history and bring peace, it must support Israel in its battle against its enemies.

“We are fighting the battle of the free world” he Herzog  added.

The attack provoked the Israeli bombardment and invasion of the Gaza Strip.

Tensions since then have rocketed and brought the Middle East region to the brink of a wider conflict, Herzog added.
