Israeli President Isaac Herzog urged Europe not to abandon Israel on Tuesday, arguing that the continent would harm itself if it "turned its back" on the Jewish state.
"I want to be clear: The isolation, exclusion and criminalization of Israel is falling prey to the manipulations of the agents of chaos. Europe must understand: Turning our backs on Israel at this time is turning our backs on Europe's own interests. And we will all pay the price. Yes, in science and innovation, in research and culture. But especially in a weakened alliance of moderates in favor of a strengthened axis of extremism. We must not let this happen," Herzog said at an event at the German embassy in the Israeli city of Herzliya.
Herzog's comments come at a time when Israel is increasingly isolated internationally, both for its actions in Gaza and its recent attack on Qatar.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned last week that the commission would suspend "bilateral support for Israel," even proposing sanctions against some far-right members of the Israeli government.
