On September 11, 2026, President Isaac Herzog sent a message on the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the United States of America from Israel's 9/11 Living Memorial in the Jerusalem Hills.
President Isaac Herzog: “Twenty-five years have passed since the blue skies of the morning of 9/11, September 11, 2001, in New York were shattered by the horrific sight of the twin towers crashing to the ground.
“Standing at Israel's memorial to the victims of 9/11, here in the hills of Jerusalem, we bow our heads in memory of the thousands who were murdered on that dark day in New York, at the Pentagon, and in the fields of Pennsylvania. We pray for the wounded and their healing. We salute the families of those who lost loved ones, and we continue to bear witness to their sacrifice. We will never forget the courage and heroism of the first responders and emergency services, together with everyday New Yorkers who rushed into the fire and dust to save the lives of their fellow citizens.
“Even 25 years later, the evil of that vicious assault on the United States remains as shocking as ever. Sadly, the global fight against terror continues every day. Here in Israel, we understand this deadly challenge all too well.
“There is simply no justification for the targeting of innocents, whether they are American, Israeli, or any other nationality. Israel will always stand with America, our greatest ally and friend, and the most powerful nation in the world.
“May the memory of the victims of 9/11 forever be a blessing."
