Prime Minister Netanyahu spoke this evening (Thursday) at the state assembly to mark 56 years since the liberation and reunification of Jerusalem at Ammunition Hill.

"Despite the threats, and I say even because of the threats, I instructed to hold the Flag March with the participation of thousands on its usual route, according to the usual procedure."

"We inflicted heavy blows on our aggressors in the Gaza Strip, and I believe that the message was received not only by them; also in other places in our region, who observed the impressive operational capabilities of the State of Israel. If another reminder is needed to renew deterrence - it will also come. We have changed the equation," Netanyahu said.
