Jerusalem Mayor Barkat On 50 Years Since Reunification Of Jerusalem And US Senate Resolution


Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat’s statement on 50 years since Jerusalem’s reunification and the US Senate resolution on Jerusalem:

“On June 7, 1967, fifty years ago today, paratroopers reached the Western Wall and reunited the city of Jerusalem. This was a moment that the Jewish people had dreamed of for 2,000 years.

I applaud the US Senate on the unanimous passage of a resolution recognizing Jerusalem as the eternal, indivisible capital of the Jewish people. Since reuniting Jerusalem fifty years ago, Israel has maintained freedom of religion, movement, and expression – values we share with our closest ally, the United States. As we mark the 50th anniversary of Jerusalem’s reunification, I am grateful for the unbreakable bond between the US and Israel.”
