Israeli envoy thanks people of Azerbaijan for their support

Israeli Ambassador George Deek has thanked the Azerbaijani people for their support, Report informs.

The ambassador expressed his words of gratitude in an interview with journalists.

“We were overwhelmed by messages of support from our brothers and sisters in Azerbaijan. I stopped counting how many messages, emails, WhatsApps and calls we received from people from all walks of life. And the flocks of people laying flowers at the gate of the embassy is truly heartwarming. On behalf of the people of Israel, I want to say to the Azerbaijani people – you touched our hearts, thank you!” he said.

The ambassador also noted that October 7 will be remembered as the darkest day in Israeli history since the Holocaust.

“A war was launched by a surprise when Hamas terrorists launched rockets and invaded our towns in the south of Israel, in order to murder, rape, and kidnap our women and men, our sons and our daughters. The toll of this aggression is staggering, with over 700 Israelis dead, over 100 individuals abducted, and over 2,000 more injured,” the ambassador added.

“There are hundreds of Israelis waiting to donate blood. Hundreds of Israelis volunteering to help the people of the South in their time of need. People are flying back from all over the world to join the army and fight the battle of justice,” he said, calling on the international community to support Israel.
