PM Netanyahu attended the annual Jerusalem day ceremony celebration at Mercaz harav and was welcomed with a warm and enthusiastic crowd singing the famous song "lebinyamin amar", Netanyahu repeated his comittment and promise earlier today and assured the attendees to overcome any pressure and not make any concession on Jerusalem.

"Jerusalem is the eternal Capital of the Jewish People, Jerusalem is unified and will never be Divided again,No power in the world will prevent of us to defend the State of Israel and Jerusalem","Our people's unparalleled affinity to Jerusalem has spanned thousands of years, and is at the basis of our national renaissance. It has united our people, secular and religious people alike, The sites that are holy to us will always remain under Israeli sovereignty," the Prime Minister added.

Here is what one of the attendees had to write
:" .....As he entered the packed auditorium the band struck up the music and the room full of students began singing. The room rocked with the joy expressed by these students and their rabbis.

When the singing subsided the Prime Minister declared "Jerusalem will never be divided." If you thought the assembled were loud as he entered the room, they seemed restrained in comparison to the singing and clapping that greeted the PM's declaration".
