Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, on Sunday, April 5, said he wished Christians in Nigeria, Syria, Turkey, Middle East and other countries despite the fact that they are being persecuted in those countries.
Netanyahu said this in his Easter message he posted on his X handle, adding that in its region, Israel alone protects the Christian community which is growing and prospering.
He wrote: “To our Christian friends in Israel, the United States and around the world, we wish you a blessed and joyful Easter.
“Christians are persecuted across the Middle East, in Syria, Lebanon, Nigeria, Turkey and beyond. But in our region, Israel alone protects our Christian community which is growing and prospering.
“In this land where the story began, as missiles are fired at our capital, the holy city of Jerusalem, and as the US and Israel stand firm against the Iranian regime and its terror proxies, we continue to steadfastly protect the freedom of worship for all faiths, especially at this sacred time.
“Even under fire, our commitment is unwavering: to defend life, to safeguard liberty, and to ensure that every believer can pray in peace.
“May the message of renewal, hope, and faith shine brightly in your homes and hearts. Happy Easter.”
