Prime Minister Netanyahu participated in the cornerstone event for a special park in memory of his brother, Col. Yoni Netanyahu, killed in the Entebbe raid. The park is located in Bat Yam.
Netanyahu said he had approved a plan to increase security in the Shechem gate precinct in Jerusalem in the wake of numerous terror attacks in the area.
Netanyahu said the gate had become a "symbol of terror and of anti-terror and combatting terror" and he had therefore approved reducing the freedom of movement of potential attackers in the area.
