Tonight (Tuesday), Prime Minister Naftali Bennett will speak on the eve of Remembrance Day, at the memorial service for the victims of the Israeli campaigns of the Yad Labanim organization at the Yad Labanim House in Jerusalem.
He shared his personal story from Lebanon and told about Eitan Belhassan, Yoav Har Shoshanim and Shemaiah-Avichai Danoch, three friends who lost their minds.
"We were there, in Lebanon, all of us together. Kibbutzniks with urban, secular with religious, Beershebaim with Tel Aviv, right-wingers with leftists, Jews with non-Jews," Bennett shared.
"The connection between us all was natural, something that should not be talked about at all. Each risked his life for the other. We were brothers."

"There, in the outposts in southern Lebanon, I fell in love with our wonderful people," he said.
"We all, in our hearts, fell in love. It could not have been. We were together. Many of the friends stayed there. Young. 19 or 20 years old who did not return. They will remain our brothers forever. I can not speak on their behalf, but I believe his could, they would ask us: "Continue to live together. Do not let disagreements tear you away."
Bennett warned that if "our mutual guarantee is broken, or we allow anger and hatred to grip us, then at once our enemies will take advantage of it to harm us."
He exclaimed, "The decision is in our hands, let's dispel the anxieties of each other. We will deal with the argument, not the claimant. We will really listen. We will argue with each other, but we will never, ever hate our brother. Above all we will remember that we are one family, this "It is our duty to the fallen. It is also our duty to future generations."
