None
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke at the opening of the Knesset's summer session and said, "If it wasn't for Herzl, we would not be standing here today."
"Our mission is to continue building, establishing and developing out country, the homeland of the Jewish people, in view of the great visionary Binyamin Zeev Herzl," said Netanyahu and added, "A few days ago, in an interview on Independence Day, I was asked what I would tell Herzl if I had the privilege of meeting him today. I would tell him: We willed it." (Amnon Meranda)
