Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks in Hebrew at the beginning of his remarks at the US embassy’s July 4 event, giving a muscular warning to Palestinian terrorists as IDF forces operate in Jenin.
“In recent months, Jenin has turned into a safe haven for terror,” he says. “There are no places that are safe for terror.”
“Anyone who tries to hurt Israelis — his place is in jail or in the grave,” he thunders to applause.
“I salute you,” he says to the troops fighting in Jenin.“We will continue with the operation until its completion.”
