Netanyahu Condemns Christian Persecution in Nigeria

In a recent Easter message shared on X, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the persecution of Christians in Nigeria and other countries, including Syria, Lebanon, and Turkey. He extended greetings to Christians in Israel and around the world, wishing them joy during the Easter celebrations.

Netanyahu highlighted the ongoing tensions in the region, noting that despite security threats, including missile attacks on Jerusalem, Israel remains committed to protecting the freedom of worship, particularly during the Easter period. He expressed hope that the Easter season would bring renewed faith and hope to Christians globally.

Netanyahu's remarks also referenced previous concerns he raised regarding violence against Christians in Nigeria, labeling such attacks as unacceptable and calling for an end to the violence.
