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

Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly made a statement to French President Emmanuel Macron, emphasizing that Israel was not created by the United Nations but by the 'blood of our heroic fighters'. This statement stresses the sacrifice and struggle that the people of Israel endured in order to establish their nation. Netanyahu's viewpoint aligns with a common sentiment among Israelis that their sense of nationhood stems from their historical, religious, cultural ties to the land, as well as their perseverance through trials over centuries, rather than being a direct product of the UN's decision in 1947.
