Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu affirmed that "no international pressure can prevent us from defending ourselves, even if we have to stand alone." He stated, "What is happening at American universities reminds us of what happened at German universities on the eve of the Holocaust in the 1930s." He added that "the test we face is to continue standing together until victory, as we are facing crucial days. We are confronting two fronts: the first is Iran and its proxies, and the second is the volcano of anti-Semitism that spreads lies throughout the world."
