Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Lion visit the memorial honoring the 87 Jerusalemite civilians and soldiers who have fallen since October 7.
“We remember our fallen, our hostages — whom we are obliged to bring home — and our heroes who fell for the defense of the homeland and the country,” says Netanyahu. “We went through a terrible massacre a year ago, and we stood up as a people, like lions.”
Lion issues a call for unity: “From Jerusalem, a city that is the symbol of unity, comes the message of unity, and each and every one of us has the task of continuing together, and acting as one, seeing the common denominator for all of us, for Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, for the State of Israel. As the months of war taught us well, our strength is in our unity. Only together will we win.”
The memorial, which stands opposite the National Library, was dedicated last month.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
