YOUNG ISRAEL STATEMENT ON NETANYAHU VICTORY

The following is a statement from the National Council of Young Israel (NCYI) regarding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s victory in the recent elections in Israel:

 

“The National Council of Young Israel extends its heartfelt congratulations to Prime Minister Netanyahu on his hard fought victory. From strengthening its economy to safeguarding its citizens, Israel has seen a resurgence during Prime Minister Netanyahu’s tenure. His tough stance against Israel’s antagonists and his ardent efforts to call attention to their malevolent desire to bring harm to Israel and its inhabitants has helped expose their evil intentions to the international community.

 

“In addition, Prime Minister Netanyahu’s dedication to strengthening the U.S.-Israel relationship has helped further solidify the critical bond between the two nations. By working collaboratively with President Trump, Prime Minister Netanyahu’s term in office has been filled with monumental accomplishments, such as the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, the relocation of the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, the decision to withdraw from the fatally flawed Iran nuclear deal, the designation of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a foreign terrorist organization, and the recognition of Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights.

 

“Prime Minister Netanyahu’s enduring commitment to improving the lives of Israelis propelled him to another term, and we wish him Mazal Tov on his electoral win.”

 

For the past 107 years, the National Council of Young Israel has ably served the broader Jewish community. With more than 25,000 member families and approximately 135 branch synagogues throughout the United States, Canada, and Israel, the National Council of Young Israel is a multi-faceted organization that embraces Jewish communal needs and often takes a leading role in tackling the important issues that face the Jewish community in North America and Israel.
