Prime Minister Netanyahu spoke at a Secret Service event in honor of Independence Day.
Netanyahu praised the service for fighting the "pathological hatred" of Israel and said that in the last year and a half the same hatred had morphed online on social media sites which had led to murderous stabbing and ramming attacks on Israelis.
Netanyahu added :"In the name of the Jewish nation, I wish to take off my hat to you as you have a major part in foiling these attacks.in saving lives. I want to inform you that the whole world is impressed with you because this problem has now spread to a number of countries."
