**Puerto Rico, April 18, 2025**.As part of an event held in Cayey, Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos delivered a message with strong humanitarian and geopolitical content, focusing on the current situation in the State of Israel and the urgent need to free the hostages who remain in captivity.

During his remarks, Dr. Pérez Matos called for prayers for the safety of Israel and its officials, emphasizing the need for protection and guidance in a highly complex situation:

**“We pray for Israel. May God keep Israel, protect Israel, guide the leaders as well; and may they also be delivered, freed; may those who remain be released soon.”**

The message also included a reaffirmation of the leader’s personal commitment to the Israeli people, highlighting that his support is not limited to speeches, but involves a willingness to take action:

**“I will do whatever I have to do for them; whether from here or being there; and they know they have my full support; and therefore, all of you are behind me.”**

In a deeply sensitive tone, Dr. Pérez Matos referred to the testimonies of survivors and the reports published by international media regarding the conditions of captivity, expressing his outrage at the persistence of these events in the current context:

**“How is it possible that this is happening in the 21st century!”**

Furthermore, the declaration added a perspective of future projections, placing current events within a broader framework of transformation. Likewise, Dr. Pérez Matos emphasized the expectation of a scenario in which current conflicts will no longer exist:

**“Now, notice that something is moving; because, remember that in the Millennium it will be a Kingdom with a rod of iron. These things won’t happen there, believe me, that won’t happen.”**

This statement reaffirms a clear stance in support of Israel, combining an urgent humanitarian call with a broader interpretation of the international landscape, in a context where unfolding events continue to have global repercussions.
