Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said, Sunday, "Clouds of sorrow are flying over the State of Israel today and alway flying over the families whose loved ones, our dear ones, have fallen in Israel's wars."
Speaking at a ceremony held at Yad LaBanim in Jerusalem to open events of the Memorial Day for Israel's Fallen Soldiers and Hostilities, Netanyahu added: "From the time the dagger of the bereavement stabbed our hearts, the order of our lives has changed forever, but today we note the mutual involvement and partnership of fate that binds all parts of the people with the bereaved family."
