Education Minister Naftali Bennett spoke on Tuesday evening at a Memorial Day ceremony at Sultan’s Pool in Jerusalem.
“In the face of our bloodthirsty enemies, in the face of those who stab women and children, in the face of the cowards who stab people in the back, this year was a year of courage for the nation of Israel, of the simple people.”
“This year, the entire nation of Israel merits medals of honor, for mutual reciprocity, for courage, for the love of Israel, for dedication, for standing up against terror,” he added.
