Knesset speaker: Rockets, terror won’t weaken us
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleKnesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein says he has been “deeply moved” by the stories of bereaved families whom he met following last year’s Operation Protective Edge in the Gaza Strip.
“I must confess that, last summer, I went through an experience at the homes of the families of fallen soldiers that rocked me,” Edelstein says at a memorial service at Yad Lebanim, an NGO representing bereaved families.
“I was deeply moved to discover their stories, to make a close acquaintance with those precious stones that make up Israel,” he continues.
Edelstein adds: “Time after time we emerge from the fight, bruised, but having gained the upper hand. Neither rockets, nor tunnels, nor terror attacks will weaken this people.”
