WATCH: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Passover Greetings
“Ours is a generation of redemption. Ours is a generation of victory.”
Prime Minister's Spokeswoman 15.04.2025
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
My brothers and sisters, citizens of Israel. On Seder night, we all gather with our loved ones. We tell the story of our people who went out from slavery to freedom.
But on this holiday, for many families, there will be empty chairs. The chairs of their loved ones, the hostages, still held by Hamas. Chairs for those who fell heroically on the battlefield. Chairs for our loved ones who have been wounded, fighting to return to their lives in rehabilitation wards.
From this emptiness rises the clear voice of our fallen heroes. Like the final message of Elkana Wiesel, of blessed memory, who wrote to his family: "Don't be sad when you part from me. Sing and support each other because this is the generation of redemption." Indeed, ours is the generation of redemption, the generation of victory.
Together, we will return our hostages. Together, we will defeat our enemies. Together, we will embrace our wounded. Together, we will bow our heads in memory of our fallen.
On October 7, there were those who believed we would drown in the sea in the face of the enemy's armies. But not only did we not drown, we rose as one. With a strong hand and an outstretched arm, we broke the axis of evil.
The entire world looks with wonder upon our ancient people. Time and again, we overcome those who seek to destroy us. In every generation, they rise against us. G-d and the spirit of our fighters save us from them.
Greetings on this Festival of Freedom. A kosher Passover to the entire Jewish People.
