Addressing the Jerusalem Day flag marchers at their rallying point at the Great Synagogue, Religious Zionism MK Ohad Tal links the annual march to the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
“We’re celebrating in the shadow of war, a war that they call the Al Aqsa Flood,” he says, using Hamas’s name for the October 7 terror assault.
“They want to cut our connection to this place. They won’t succeed. We will beat our enemies and return our hostages and we will be victorious,” he declaims to a thunderous cheer.
