Netanyahu meets with families of fallen soldiers ahead of Memorial Day

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets the relatives of IDF soldiers killed in battle and terror attacks ahead of Memorial Day next week.

“You know the enormity of the loss, therefore you can also appreciate life. I’ll tell you something that sounds crazy, but each of one of you can overcome a lot of problems in life, because you’re overcoming this,” he tells children whose parents were killed fighting in the Israel Defense Forces.

Netanyahu also addresses the death of his brother Yoni, who was killed in the 1976 Entebbe hostage rescue, and thanks the Yad Lebanim and IDF Widows and Orphans organizations, which work with bereaved families.

ראש הממשלה נתניהו נפגש עם יתומי צה״ל

בכל שנה לפני יום הזיכרון אני מבקש להיפגש עם יתומי צה״ל ואחים שכולים. מאי גולדמכר, אחותו של סמל נדב גולדמכר ז"ל שנפל בצוק איתן, קראה לנו מכתב מרגש שכתבה לאחיה. אחרים סיפרו על אבא שאיבדו, דוד שלא חזר. האחים שלנו, הקרובים שאיבדנו, ממשיכים לחיות בתוכנו. תמיד.(וידאו: עומר מירון, לע"מ. סאונד: בן פרץ, לע"מ)
