During his speech, Cohen presented harrowing footage reportedly from Hamas videos taken during the October 7 attack, accompanied by poignant piano music. He described that day as one of the darkest in Israel’s history since the Holocaust, highlighting the gravity of the situation.

Cohen also attributed the attacks on Israel to Iran, citing groups like Hezbollah in the north and the Huthis in Yemen. He emphasized Iran’s role as the primary financier of terrorism globally, accusing Tehran of attempting to hinder the normalization and peace process of recent years.
