Netanyahu tells Macron that Israel was not created by the UN, but by ‘blood of our heroic fighters’

Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu talked to French President Emmanuel Macron about the foundation of Israel, stating that its creation was not due to the United Nations but rather the effort and sacrifices made by its people, recognizing particularly the heroic fighters.

Netanyahu suggests the establishment of a Jewish nation is a result of the collective fight, determination, and sacrifices of the people who believed in the cause, more than it being a consequence of international diplomatic decisions.

This indicates Netanyahu’s perspective that Israel’s existence and survival comes from its citizen’s efforts and valiance, highlighting its historic resistance against numerous odds. The reference to the ‘blood of heroic fighters’ likely alludes to various historic events like the 1948 War of Independence.
