“A decade after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, the war against terrorism is not over, but at its height”
“A decade after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, the war against terrorism is not over, but at its height,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday.
He told his cabinet at the weekly meeting in occupied Jerusalem that democracies around the world should unite to continue fighting “radical Islamists”.
"Radical Islam is threatening moderate Arab and Muslim regimes," he said. "Terrorism is their [radical Islamists''] tool," he said. "We are in a decade of terrorism."
"The threat is against all of us, against the regimes and the stability in the Middle East, against the security of Israel, against the safety of Europe and the United States, and, in my opinion, also against the safety and stability of Russia and many other states," he said.
Netanyahu warned that, if “radical Islamists” gained control of weapons of mass destruction, the threat would become "immeasurably greater."
An official 9/11 memorial service with U.S. Ambassador to Israel Daniel Shapiro, families of the dead and senior Israeli officials was scheduled to take place at Jerusalem park early Sunday afternoon, next to a monument built two years ago and donated by the JNF (Jewish Nature Fund)-USA.
A U.S. embassy statement said it is the largest 9/11 monument in the world, outside Ground Zero, the former site of the World Trade Center, which was destroyed in the attack.
