“We are in Jerusalem by right and not by charity, and we will continue to develop the city for all its residents,” he says at the ceremony on Ammunition Hill.
The prime minister expresses the desire for a peace agreement with the Palestinians, but says that peace can only be achieved through direct negotiations and not international diktats, Walla reports.
