Now the whole world has seen from the actions of allies in the skies of Israel and neighboring countries how effective unity can be in defending against terror, if the basis of unity is sufficient political will. Israel, America, Britain, France, and Jordan acted together. Together they did not allow terror to prevail. And they are working together - with many others - to prevent further escalation.

Israel is not a NATO member, and there was no need for anything like the activation of Article 5. And no one was drawn into the war. They just helped protect lives.

"Chesser" in the sky of Ukraine sounds the same as in the sky of the Middle East. Ballistics strike the same way everywhere if you don't shoot them down. The skies of Europe could have long ago received the kind of protection they need if Ukraine had similar full support from its partners in shooting down drones and missiles. Terror must lose everywhere and completely, not more or less.

I thank everyone in the world - every leader, every state - who really help us with air defense, with the necessary missiles to protect the sky, who train our guys on F-16s. All this is working and will continue to work to protect lives. But we are now seeing how unity can really work one hundred percent and how almost one hundred percent of the "shaheds" and missiles can be shot down. We will talk to our partners about this.
