*Bnei Brak, Israel – July 3, 2025*

In one of the most impactful stops during his visit to Israel, Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos toured the ruins of a special education center recently hit by a missile. The visit, marked by tension and direct evidence, led to a **strong international statement on the nature of the attacks and the need to present the reality of the conflict without distortion.**

Joined by local officials and representatives of the affected institution, the visiting leader surveyed the site of the strike, which occurred about 10 days earlier. The blast not only damaged the school’s infrastructure but also impacted nearby homes and other buildings.

## Direct Condemnation of the Targeting of Civilian Infrastructure

During the visit, Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos focused on the nature of the target, underscoring the gravity of striking an institution for children with special needs.

In this context, he emphasized: **“Here a school for special needs children was struck. That’s their target,”** drawing a clear distinction from Israel’s operational doctrine, adding: **“Israel warns in advance so that people can leave before attacking terrorist targets, but their attackers don’t do the same; they strike wherever it lands, and their targets are students.”**

His statements introduce a central axis of his message: the distinction between military and civilian targets and the denunciation of practices that, in his view, violate basic principles of international humanitarian law.

## Criticizing the International Narrative and Disinformation

Another key point in his remarks was his criticism of how the conflict is perceived in the West. Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos argued that there is an **information gap** that leads to incomplete or biased interpretations of events in the region.

In that regard, he stated: **“You don’t see that information in the West. You always see the other side, saying that Israel is the bad guy, but you don't see the real side of the coin,”** criticizing the way that certain content is spread worldwide.

He further expanded on what he considers to be the root of the problem, saying: **“In what country in the world are there laws that say that another nation should be wiped off the face of the Earth? That’s not something you see in democratic governments, but over there, from childhood, they are taught to exterminate Israel,”** in direct criticism of ideological frameworks that, in his view, feed the conflict.

## Presence of Local Authorities and Damage Evaluation

During their visit to Bnei Brak, the delegation met with the city’s mayor, Hanoch Zeibert, who was personally overseeing the demolition of structures rendered uninhabitable after the strike.

The encounter underscored the institutional nature of the visit, which brought together a technical inspection of the damage with a political and social analysis of the strike’s impact on the local community.

## An Enduring Scripture: Resilience and Impact

Despite the scale of the destruction observed, Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos offered a passage centered on continuity and resilience, framing the situation within a broader vision of Israel’s future.

On this matter, he expressed: **“Israel is the firstborn son of God. They try to exterminate it, but it was promised that it would not be destroyed. The Eternal One is with Israel, and, from here, from Jerusalem, the Kingdom of the Prince Messiah will be established very soon: a Kingdom of peace, prosperity, and happiness.”**

In his statement, he cited a passage that combines situational analysis, international condemnation, and structural reach, portraying Jerusalem as the center of an eventual scenario for global stability.

Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos’s visit continued to unfold with an intensive agenda aimed at **shedding light on the impact of the conflict, strengthening institutional ties, and establishing a message of reconstruction and peace in the global arena.**
