PM visits Sderot teens, counsels patience
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets with representatives of youth groups in Sderot, many of whom organized activities for the local children in shelters during the Gaza campaign.
Speaking to the teenage leaders, the prime minister calls for patience and resilience.
“In the Middle East we live in, it’s not enough to have just power — we have a lot of power — you also need a lot of patience. We have it, in abundance, and you are proof of that,” Netanyahu says.
