Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife participated in the laying of the cornerstone of the "Yonatan" preparatory course for the late Yoni Netanyahu in Kibbutz Alumim in the Gaza vicinity.
During his speech, Netanyahu referred to the disaster in Nahal Tzafit, in which nine girls and one boy who went on a formative trip as part of their studies at the "Bnei Zion" pre-military academy in Tel Aviv were killed. "I met the parents, their pain is inconceivable, they asked me to set up a committee to examine the problem in order to ensure that such a thing does not happen in the future so that the future of the preparatory programs will be guaranteed.
"I intend to respond to them as soon as the police investigation is completed,". We will set up a government commission of inquiry to ensure this doesn't happen again. This is important to me, I am sure it will help, "said the prime minister.
