EVENTS & ACTIVITIES

On November 18 in the House of Commons, under the organization of the Henry Jackson Society, Jose Maria Aznar presented the major report ’Israel: a Vital Asset of the West’ produced by the Friends of Israel Initiative as one of its main projects for 2015.

During his speech, Aznar made many important remarks on the Israel’s worth to the world, the future of the West and the importance of Israel in this regard, and the historical moment that we are witnessing.

Among other assertions, Aznar underlined that:

’We are at an historic turning point...we must stand with our closest allies and not isolate those who are vital assets’

’Israel is more important now than at any other time....shared values and military/technological cooperation are essential’

’Israel is most important strategic partner in the middle east for the west...having a strong Israel is more important than ever’

’Israel does not give up the pursuit of peace and prosperity despite many setbacks...but such a resilient nation also has problems’

’Our future is alongside Israel, not apart from her’
