Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed foreign ministers at a conference on combating antisemitism, saying "We are dealing with antisemitism, this disease, and we are paying a heavy price - but other countries are paying a price too." He added, "Those who expected antisemitism to decrease after Hamas's October 7 massacre were disappointed. What we saw was exactly the opposite. Demonstrations in European capitals celebrated the child-burners and kidnappers. We saw the burning of Israeli flags, but also American flags. When you celebrate this, you're celebrating the complete collapse of civilization."
