Information and Diaspora Minister Yuli Edelstein said on Monday that the security challenges which Israel faces should be taken very seriously.
Speaking at a Likud toast on the occasion of the Jewish New Year, Edelstein said, “The security challenges which the State of Israel faces are not fake. After the Holocaust I tend to believe those who tell me they want to kill me. 70 years ago we did not have a country, we had no army, but today we have them and will not hesitate to defend ourselves.”
