Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos Calls to Combat Terrorism and Reiterates His Support for Israel Before More Than 9,000 People in Colombia
Palmira, Valle del Cauca, Colombia - June 12, 2026
During a series of large-scale events held in Palmira, the president of the Kingdom of Peace and Justice Center addressed the situation in the Middle East, the fight against international terrorism, and the role of Israel in the defense of peace.
Within the framework of an intense agenda of activities held last Saturday in the city of Palmira, Colombia, the president and founder of the Kingdom of Peace and Justice Center, Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos, delivered a message before thousands of people who participated in the different gatherings held throughout the day.
According to the organizers, more than 9,000 people attended the activities held throughout the day, in which Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos shared reflections on current international affairs, the situation in the Middle East, terrorism, and the role of Israel in the international landscape.
In reference to the events involving Israel and Iran, he stated:
“Currently, look, the United States are attacking Iran these days. Yesterday… the day before yesterday, yesterday, they have already been bombing.”
Likewise, he pointed out that, according to information he had recently learned, there is broad support within Israel for the continuation of actions aimed at combating terrorism.
“The majority of the people of Israel don’t want that war to end until the terrorism present there is exterminated.”
He then linked different terrorist organizations operating in the Middle East with funding coming from Iran.
“Because Hezbollah is financed from there, and all those… ISIS, and all those terrorist groups are financed from Iran.”
“Terrorism Has to Be Exterminated Completely”
One of the central themes of his message was related to the need to confront terrorism decisively. Echoing statements that he had made previously, Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos stated:
“You can’t ease up on them (as we say); terrorism has to be exterminated completely!”
And he added:
“Terrorism is nothing else than a perversion of peace! Therefore, if the world wants peace, well, it has to destroy terrorism.”
According to his explanation, true peace cannot be achieved while terrorist structures continue operating and financing violent actions against civilian populations.
The Millennial Kingdom and the Application of Justice
During another part of his remarks, Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos reflected on the Millennial Kingdom and the need to exercise authority against those who promote violence and terrorism.
“Now, don’t worry, because in the Millennial Kingdom, it won’t be a kingdom like that, ‘soft.’ It will be a Kingdom with a rod of iron! With a strong hand! And that is going to begin right now.”
Next, he linked these events with historical and geopolitical processes that, as he stated, continue to have repercussions in the present.
“Now, that is already being seen; and He uses whatever nations He has to use to start eliminating those remnants of those past kingdoms: of Persia (which is Iran). That has to be eliminated completely.”
However, he expressly clarified that his words were directed against terrorist structures and not against the civilian population.
“Not the population, not the good people; but the terrorism, which hides behind the good people.”
Likewise, he denounced the use of civilian facilities by terrorist organizations.
“Behind hospitals, behind schools… They found a whole bunch of tunnels underneath hospitals and schools, and they had all that arsenal down there.”
And he added:
“In other words, those terrorists are cowards!”
Israel, Intelligence, and the Fight Against Terrorism
In the final part of his message, Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos reflected on the impossibility of hiding from God, and compared that reality with the intelligence capabilities developed by Israel.
“But no one can hide from God. They think they are hiding, but God knows where each one of them is.”
And he continued:
“It’s like the Israeli intelligence, that they know and are aware of far more than people imagine; and they locate them just like that. They know where every person is.”
Finally, he stated that current events take place within a framework allowed by God, and concluded his message with a blessing for Israel.
“But notice, God allows all of that, because no one can hide from God.”
And he concluded:
“He also shows that through nations such as Israel. May God bless Israel! And may He continue helping Israel in everything.”
The activities held in Palmira were part of a broad agenda of public gatherings led by Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos in Colombia, where thousands of people participated in events dedicated to reflecting on current international affairs, peace, the security of nations, and the role of Israel in the international landscape.
