Following is an excerpt from Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's remarks at the statements with Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, today (Tuesday, 7 December 2021):

"We also recognize the threats in our complex region that are causes of joint concern: the concern for our climate, concern for the health and livelihoods of our people and the concern of our security in the face of terror.

“We're pushing back on the bad forces of this region, day and night. We won’t stop for one second. This happens almost daily. In the face of destructive forces, we will continue to act, we will be persistent and we will not tire.
