Prime minister places note between ancient stones, declares duty to preserve Jewish heritage and legacy. He will continue to strive “for the sake of the citizens of Israel, the State of Israel, and the Land of Israel.”
The Western Wall is a remnant of the Jewish Second Temple, one of the holiest places in the world for Jews.
Netanyahu quoted from Psalm 121, “He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep,” “For the sake of Zion, I will not be silent,” taken from Isaiah 62.
“This sums up the two ongoing actions that I took upon myself,”
“I come here, to our source, to touch the stones of the Western Wall, and to remember that we have a duty to preserve the legacy of generations and to secure our future for coming generations."
