Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a speech at the Likud Party on the occasion of the New Year.
"Together we will continue to lead the State of Israel for many more years for the benefit of our children," Netanyahu declared. "I return to Lithuania as the head of the Jewish state, the nation-state of the Jewish people, which respects the individual rights of all its citizens."
"We have a state, sovereignty, the IDF, we act as a power, we have restored our ability to defend ourselves, honor and control over our fate," Netanyahu said.
