The Knesset Marks Jerusalem Day
(The Knesset) Jerusalem Day, celebrated from Thursday evening until Friday evening, is an Israeli national holiday commemorating the reunification of Jerusalem after the Six-Day War. During a special Knesset session on Wednesday marking Jerusalem Day, Speaker of the Knesset MK Yariv Levin addressed the criticism at the time of the relocation of the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem. Levin denounced the "experts at instilling fear, the 'it won't work' professors and the members of the 'sorry we won' choir, who explain to us that we shouldn't make the effort, that it is dangerous to dare; who convince us that if we aspire for more, we will lose what we have. They tell us that it is better to remain on the step we are standing on. That we should wait for other times, when the 'world' will agree. But Jerusalem despises these experts."
