Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed a Christian conference led by evangelical preacher Paula White, where he stated that "The connection between us is challenged today by Islamic fundamentalism that wants to kill anyone who isn't Muslim and destroy Israel. Israel is portrayed as an enemy of Christians, and enemies of Christians are portrayed as enemies of the United States. Iran, the Muslim Brotherhood - are portrayed as friends of the U.S. We have fought on seven fronts, now there is an eighth front - the battle for truth. I can't think of anyone who can bear this better than you - our Christian friends who fight for our shared values and fight for the truth alongside Israel."
