The efforts of christians all over the world in curtailing the terrors and horrors of Islamic communities in the world has been deeply appreciated by the prime minister of Israel, Naftali Bennett. He made this known why addressing the 5th annual Christian Media Summit last Thursday. 

According to him "radical Islam want to take over the world but the effort have not been successful because "both Christians and the Jewish state stand more united than ever before".

The prime minister said that "in Israel, we are fighting a very visible enemy, radical militant Islam. The terror that begins in Tehran seeks to destroy Israel, dominate the world, and drive it into a dark abyss", adding that "More than ever, Israel stands united with Christians. We're brothers and sisters. We are united. We won't let anyone extinguish our light."

The event was put on by the Government Press Office and this year took place online as ongoing travel restrictions prevent many from visiting Israel. The theme of the summit was the Abraham Accords.

Foreign Minister Yair Lapid told participants: "Millions of Christians proudly stand shoulder to shoulder with us, fighting the wave of antisemitism we see today, wherever it rears its ugly head. Thank you for telling our story. Thank you for listening to our story. Thank you for being part of our story."

Lapid also stressed that Christians and Christian media have a big role to play in continuing to push forward the Abraham Accords.

Israel President Isaac Herzog said he and every other Israeli knows that they can count on Christians "to be our partners in the effort to counter the lies and spread the truth about Israel, as well as being our partners in promoting the spirit of peace of the Abraham Accords."

The event was also addressed by former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who focused on his part in bringing about the Abraham Accords and how doing so had sidelined efforts to establish a Palestinian state in Israel's place.
