Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon addressed representatives of Israeli security forces at a special Independence Day reception at the Defense Ministry, "Our War of Independence isn't over. We may yet have to independently neutralize the Iranian nuclear threat, we may have to face thousands of Hamas and Hizbullah missiles in the future, and the PA does not seem interested in ending the dispute. On the other hand, we have witnessed the beginning of a positive trend where hareidim are integrated into the IDF and the employment circle, much to everyone's benefit."
