Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with National Security Council personnel ahead of Israel’s Independence Day.
“One of the main missions of the Jewish People over the generations has been to identify threats and dangers in time and deal with them. This is a main task of the National Security Council. I thank all of you for fulfilling this mission,” Netanyahu stated.
