The official memorial to mark the 76th anniversary of the passing of pre-state Zionist leader Ze'ev Jabotinsky is scheduled for Thursday evening at the Mount Herzl cemetery.
On Wednesday, the Knesset dedicated some of its time to the occasion. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said, "Jabotinsky was vehemently against turning a blind eye to the existential threat of Nazism, and for this he sustained enormous criticism, but he stuck to his just position. ”Self-denial won`t help these days either. The threat of radical Islam is an existential threat. The choice is clear: we can either witness the intensification of this threat, or the freedom camp can wake up and stand at a broad and effective international front."
