Cayey, Puerto Rico – October 7, 2025
On the second anniversary of the attacks of October 7, 2023, Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos provided an analysis centered on the geopolitical consequences of various national policies toward the Middle East conflict, with a particular focus on Europe’s role and its ties with Israel.
In his statement, the president of the Kingdom of Peace and Justice Center emphasized Israel’s strategic role in the international arena, noting that its regional position carries implications that extend beyond territory. In that sense, he affirmed: “Israel is fighting to preserve the only democracy in the [Middle] East. If Israel were not there, the world would long ago have been in a different state than the one it’s in now, thanks to Israel.”
Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos also challenged what he described as inconsistencies in the foreign policy of some Western governments, particularly regarding their stance toward armed organizations. In his view, there is a contradiction between the values these countries promote domestically and the alliances or support they express internationally.
In his remarks, the Puerto Rican leader maintained that the current decisions of States are not isolated events, but are instead setting the stage for future consequences. As he put it: “That dimension inspires them to do something, so that the judgment that was already determined may then be issued. It’s not for no reason that they will receive judgment.”
Referring specifically to Europe, Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos adopted a particularly critical tone, noting that certain statements and political stances could have a significant impact on the region’s future. In that context, he said: “Spain… now that president is saying what he’s saying about Israel: Spain has already secured its judgment! Spain will be destroyed! The same goes for England, France, Germany, that entire part of Europe.”
In his analysis, he warned of grave potential outcomes in which, according to his interpretation, current decisions could lead to large-scale conflicts that directly impact these nations.
Alongside this assessment, his message made reference to ties between Latin America and the State of Israel. In that context, Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos reiterated the region’s position of support, stating: “We join them in solidarity today; they can count on us, on the entire Latin American and Caribbean people under this ministry. Rest assured, knowing you have a people who support you.”
In closing, he outlined a vision of an international landscape heavily shaped by current political decisions, in which each nation’s stance toward Israel becomes a defining factor in its future trajectory.
