Cayey, Puerto Rico — November 2, 2025
After concluding an extensive tour of the State of Israel, Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos, president of the Kingdom of Peace and Justice Center, gave a detailed explanation on the results of his journey and the current geopolitical context, highlighting Israel’s strategic centrality and strongly questioning countries that adopt adversarial positions.
During his remarks, Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos explained that the trip included a comprehensive journey across Israeli territory, covering various key regions, including border areas. In that regard, he noted: “We traveled the land from north, south, east, west: we walked it completely, establishing with my own feet the place where the Throne and Kingdom of David will be,” underscoring the symbolic and political value that, according to his interpretation, such actions hold in the current scenario.
The Puerto Rican leader stated that this journey represents much more than a protocol visit, describing it as an act of affirmation over the territory and its historical significance. Under this perspective, he maintained that Israel’s sovereignty over its territory is not subject to discussion and that any attempt to question it responds to external interests seeking to alter the regional balance.
In another part of his presentation, Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos questioned the role of certain international actors in economic matters, referring to trade restrictions and measures that, according to his analysis, seek to weaken Israel. In his words: “God gave all the territory of the world to the gentiles, and they want that little piece that is Israel’s inheritance! Turkey cut off trade… They cut off the entry of refrigerators,” pointing out what he interpreted as a disproportion in applied policies.
He also addressed with particular emphasis the stance of some governments toward the conflict in Gaza, drawing a direct line between political backing of certain actors and their characterization on the international stage. In one of his most categorical statements, he stated: “Are there still presidents and nations that turn against Israel and in favor of the terrorists? Well, you know what? They are terrorists too!”
Along the same line, he deepened his position by stating: “Before God, divine judgment will fall upon them, because they are against God’s firstborn son: Israel,” emphasizing that, from his perspective, foreign policy decisions have direct implications for the positioning of nations.
Finally, Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos spoke about the security conditions observed during his stay, describing a scenario of sharp contrasts in border dynamics. In that context, he expressed: “It is a total injustice that the world does not see!”, alluding to what he considers an inequality in the international perception and handling of the conflict.
The overall balance of his address revealed a firm stance regarding Israel’s role on the global stage and a clear warning about the possible consequences for those countries that adopt opposing positions in the current international context.
