(Jerusalem Post) At a ceremony marking Jerusalem's reunification on Tuesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said: "47 years ago, Jerusalem was reunified as a singular entity. That's how it's been and that's how it will always be....We take care of the nation's heart. We will never divide our heart. This is the heart of the nation and it must be united." Israel marks the city's reunification with Jerusalem Day, which is celebrated every year on the Hebrew calendar date, Iyar 28, with parades, ceremonies, and celebrations around the country. Thousands flock to the Western Wall, which was part of the area reclaimed from Jordan in 1967.
