At Ariel University, Netanyahu vows West Bank city will remain Israeli

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the West Bank city of Ariel will always remain part of Israel.

“We are building in Ariel and Ariel will always be part of Israel,” he says in his remarks at the cornerstone laying ceremony for a new School of Medicine and Health Sciences at Ariel University.

“Universities are an open and pluralistic institution, which reflects the true spirit of Israel,” he adds.

The ceremony is also attended by Education Minister Naftali Bennett and Dr. Miriam and Sheldon Adelson, who donated $5 million to the university’s medical school.
