Netanyahu: We will continue to build and protect our land
Speaking on the occasion of the 67th anniversary of the opening of the first Knesset, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel will remain steadfast against threats on its democracy and its citizens.
“Israel stands on the other side of despotic Middle Eastern regimes. We have rule of law. We have democracy. We have democratic institutions,” he says.
Referencing Sunday’s fatal stabbing in the West Bank settlement of Otniel, Netnayahu says, “no one will be successful in removing us from our land.
“We will be here forever. We will continue to build it and protect it,” he adds.
