Netanyahu: Israel will continue working to bring home bodies of missing troops

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addresses a ceremony held at the Yad Lebanim memorial for fallen soldiers ahead of the start of Memorial Day this evening.

“We are not eager for battle but we know our willingness to sacrifice is the guarantor of our fate,” Netanyahu says at the event in Jerusalem.

He also vows Israel will continue working to bring home the bodies of troops who went missing battle, noting the return of the remains earlier this month of IDF soldier Zachary Baumel after nearly 37 years.
