U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Hackaby said in a speech at United Hatzalah's tribute event at the Museum of Tolerance on Independence Day that "while we celebrate Israel's right to exist in security and freedom, Iran's Supreme Leader is probably meeting with his people to plan how to murder all of Israel's people." He added that "tonight Israel celebrates its sovereignty and its right to exist securely and freely in its land. Undisputed sovereignty over Jerusalem, the capital of the Jewish state - a capital that will remain undivided for all eternity."
