Ultranationalist National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir declares that this year’s Jerusalem Day celebration sends a message to Hamas that “Jerusalem is ours.”

“The Damascus Gate is ours. The Temple Mount is ours. And God willing complete victory is ours,” he says at the beginning of the annual flag march, flanked by Otzma Yehudit MKs and Social Equality Minister May Golan (Likud).

In a message directed at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Ben Gvir says “Don’t stop. We are winning!”
