PM plants in Kfar Atzmon; message: We're here to stay
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Kfar Atzon in the Gush Etzion block of settlements to plant a tree to mark the Tu B'Shvat festival. "This is just a start," Netanyahu said before planting. "After this we'll go on to plant in Maale Adumim and Ariel."
From the beginning of the Jewish month of Shvat until the 15th, the People of Israel are supposed to plant, the prime minister noted, and added, "The message is clear – we are here, and we will stay here. We plant and build – this is an inseparable part of the State of Israel forever." (Efrat Weiss)
