Prime Minister Netanyahu said the remarks at a ceremony commemorating the victims of hostilities on Mount Herzl

Remember the Fallen: From 13:00 on Tuesday, Herzl's State Memorial Day Ceremony will be held for the victims of hostilities.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recorded in advance a video that was broadcast during the ceremony, which included, among other things, the following: "Dear families, the great hug of the people - it pulls you up, puts rays of light into your life. I'm sure you feel this well, even in the days of the Corona that we are charged with. It is precisely the Corona that brings with it a cross-generational message about manpower in the face of the plague. In the pioneers hit the fever, the malaria epidemic, many cavities fell. But in this double test - the pioneers of the homeland stood firm. They exterminated the plague. All of our history in Israel is in the sense of ancestral white mark. As our ancestors did not go into a fever - we will win the corona epidemic. " 

Netanyahu also said: "The murders inside us do not differentiate between Jew and Jew. In terms of these killers we are all targets for harm. Their joyful joys teach more than anything about who we are. Our answer - first - the terrorists' persecution until the turmoil, and we will do it again and again. "The continued settlement in the state and the increase in settlement. And third, the strengthening of the spirit, the righteousness of the road. We do not give in, on the contrary - we will be light."

He added: "We recently made an important decision in the government - to set up a memorial hall for the victims of hostilities on Mount Herzl. We have already begun the construction of the new temple. Terror spaces engraved in our hearts will be commemorated in the hall. We will arrest the victims in our hearts forever."

Ivy Moses, chairman of the hostile casualty organization, also spoke at the ceremony. He began by mentioning the suspicion of an attack this morning at the G mall in Kfar Saba: "A few minutes ago there was an attack on the G complex in Kfar Saba, wish her well and get out of it. Citizens of Israel, dear bereaved families. I am standing here for the first time today at Herzl's site as a memorial to the victims of hostilities almost empty of man. The Corona may have caused social distress, but it will not prevent us from remembering this day. "

"Today, the mountain is almost deserted, the silence is chilling to me. I suddenly hear the silence here - and think of them. Thousands of people whose lives were killed in an instant. The innocent and pure babies murdered in the inferno attack, the girls and innocent boys killed in the Dolphinarium. Who were disguised as Purim and murdered in Dizengoff Center. There is less integrity wiped out during a joint meal. And you need bereaved parents. " 

"On this day there is a gray heavy cloud that walks over us, burdensome, does not leave. This is a reminder of the decades of pain we are destined to bear. Today I know that the cloud thickens many times, because many of us have to be spooned in our home and not deal with the burial plot. Most is to be with our relatives, many are distant. Libby comes out to you. " 

Moses added: "Five months ago, my daughter witnessed twin girls, despite her severe injuries from that day. She treats her children like a lioness, and I put her there as a father, a mother, a grandparent. And here I understand again that we have won the terror. I stand here on behalf of families Bereavement and remembering 4,000 murderers of hostilities. My promise to you, dear families, that there will be a space to commemorate the victims of hostilities.  

It is important for me to emphasize - even today, the organization of its victims of hostilities is here beside you and you are invited to contact us for assistance. .
