Minister of Diaspora Affairs Naftali Bennett said at the event, "There is one home for all the Jews of the world and this is the State of Israel. On behalf of the Government of Israel, and on behalf of the Israeli public, we salute today the Jews who live all over the world. Am Yisrael Chai (The People of Israel lives)!”
