The Jewish people have achieved something that no other people have achieved, says Israeli PM Netanyahu in his Independence Day greeting.

Yom Ha’atzmaut – Israel’s Independence Day, is a remarkable day of celebration.

After two-thousand years of exile, the Jewish people returned to its ancient homeland, the Land of Israel, 71 years ago.

Notwithstanding profound trials and tribulations, the modern Jewish state boasts a thriving economy, remarkable innovation, and a democratic, free society in the heart of the Middle East.

Yes, there are challenges, but there is success and hope, Prime Minister Netanyahu says.

Happy Independence Day from the Prime Minister of Israel! Chag Atzmaut Sameach!
