As the world commemorated seventeen years since the 9/11 terror attacks in the United States, the Keren Kayemet LeIsrael-Jewish National Fund (KKL-JNF), Jewish National Fund-USA (JNF) and the US Embassy in Israel held their annual memorial ceremony to honor those who perished. The 9/11 Living Memorial Monument is the only one outside of the United States to include all the names of the 9/11 victims, and reflects the shared values between Israel, the United States and the entire free world for peace and unity, and against terror. Attending the ceremony was US Ambassador to Israel, H.E. Daniel Friedman; KKL-JNF Vice Chairman, Mr. Yair Lootsteen; Member of Knesset Nachman Shai, JNF-USA Chief Israel Officer, Mr. Eric Michaelson, as well as other distinguished guests. Various delegations arrived from the United States and Israel for the ceremony, including United Airlines pilots, firefighters and police officers, and representatives from JNF-USA and Nefesh B’Nefesh, along with Israeli families who lost loved ones in the attack, ambassadors and other diplomats. The 9/11 Living Memorial was established in 2009 by KKL-JNF and JNF-USA. The impressive thirty-foot-high bronze sculpture was created by the Israeli artist Eliezer Weishoff and KKL-JNFs' landscape architect Yechiel Cohen. It portrays the American flag folded into the shape of a memorial flame; a metal shard from the ruins of the Twin Towers is incorporated into the base of the monument, which overlooks a magnificent vista of the Jerusalem Hills and the Arazim Valley. US Ambassador to Israel, H.E. David Friedman: “In this beautiful plaza, at this inspiring location, we remind the families of those lost and we confirm to people everywhere, that we stand together – Americans and Israelis – and that together we continue to heal and to build, in a spirit of solidarity and commitment to the future.” KKL-JNF Vice Chairman, Mr. Yair Lootsteen: “This monument holds with it a commitment to all the victims, survivors and their families. It is a commitment to plant and grow, in a place where some wished to disrupt, uproot and tear apart. Here we choose, each year, to take an oath in the name of those who have lost their lives – to do all we can to build a better future for the next generations.” JNF-USA Chief Israel Officer, Mr. Eric Michaelson: “Jewish National Fund-USA is the human link between the people of the United States and Israel, through which the supporters of Israel in America can partake in its’ growth and success. The 9/11 Living Memorial stands as a bright beacon of the shared values and brotherhood of both our nations; as we look past even the darkest times and remain standing together, giving each other the strength to continue building a better world for the future.” Israel|US|911|News|GlobalNewsCentre|Global News Network

Following is an excerpt of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's remarks, this evening (Wednesday, 5 September 2018), Attached photo credit: IDF Spokesperson at an event marking 70 years since the founding of the IDF Intelligence Corps: "Those who seek our lives have learned to recognize our determination. We have no intention of compromising on the security of the citizens of Israel in our state. We will not allow Iran to establish a presence in Syria. We will take action to thwart its intention of arming its proxies and its forces with deadly weapons to be aimed at us. The terror and aggression of Iran on Syrian territory, or anywhere else, will be met with the iron fist of the IDF. I welcome the tightening cooperation between the various arms of the intelligence community. They are all investing effort in ensuring our existence and our future. The importance of intelligence cannot be exaggerated, and this importance is increasing, but with a clarification. Intelligence cannot replace assessments and decisions that have already been made; it cannot do this, not for general staff military commanders and the chief-of-staff, and not for leaders. It cannot do this under many conditions; we need to decide if we received sufficient intelligence or should we wait for more before taking action. (…). Intelligence is a key element in Israel's strength. It multiplies power and is a national asset of the first order, just like it says here, the first line of defense. The importance of intelligence cannot be exaggerated and this importance grows with time. You are the eyes and ears of the state and most importantly – you act with great heart and spirit for the country." Israel|IDF|Defense Force|Netanyahu|News|Global News Center|Global News Network

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this afternoon (Wednesday, 5 September 2018), at the start of the weekly Cabinet meeting, made the following remarks: "Israel is determined to prevent Iran and its proxies from establishing a military presence in Syria. We are taking strong action against these attempts and against the attempts to produce precision weaponry in all sectors, near and far. We will continue to take such action on behalf of the security of Israel. There are many indicators that cause satisfaction to the citizens of Israel. GNP is rising. Unemployment is declining. The credit rating is at an all-time high. The inequality index is declining. But there is one indicator that brings me – and government ministers as well, I am sure – special satisfaction. Yesterday we were informed of important and happy news: 89% of the citizens of Israel, almost 90%, are satisfied or very satisfied with life in Israel. This is not sour news; it is a result of Israel's citizens knowing that it is good to live in Israel. Israel is a rising global power. Its economy is growing and flourishing. Our foreign relations are flourishing. Infrastructures are being built. Life is good in the State of Israel in every respect. Tourism is at record-levels, and so on and so forth. People simply feel that the country is moving forward, that it is good to live in Israel. Therefore almost 90% of the population says that they are either satisfied or very satisfied to live here. This causes us, temporarily, to be satisfied. But the foregoing is insufficient. We constantly want to improve and make things better. Aside from this there is still another 11% that we need to reach. Therefore I would like to wish all citizens of Israel a good and sweet year, that this year too will be as successful as its predecessor. May you have a good year."

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, today (Wednesday, 5 September 2018), at the Prime Minister's Office in Jerusalem, met with Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borissov. Later today the two prime ministers will attend the dedication of the monument in Tel Aviv [see below]. Attached photo credit: Amos Ben-Gershom (GPO) Prime Minister Netanyahu: "We are not only personal friends of long duration, but there’s a special friendship between the people of Bulgaria and the people of Israel. This is expressed again and again in our mutual visits, our frequent conversations. We speak to each other every few weeks, and I appreciate your coming here to honor the Jews of Bulgaria that were saved during the Holocaust. I appreciate your decision to open an honorary consulate in Jerusalem, and I hope, I hope, I hope it’s the first step towards establishing the Bulgarian embassy in Jerusalem. We are going to speak about the other areas of cooperation between us in many fields: in cyber, in intelligence, in health, in water and more. But I think beyond the field of common interests, which we have many, there is this deep sympathy and a deep affection for the state of Bulgaria, the people of Bulgaria, from the people of Israel and the Bulgarian Jews who came to Israel. We feel we are part of the same civilization. That civilization is under attack by a variety of forces, most notably the forces of militant Islam, and the terror it espouses. It attacks us, it attacks Arabs, it attacks Europeans, it attacks Americans, it attacks everyone. And it attacked you in Bulgaria. We’re joined also not only in promoting a good future, but preventing a return to a violent past. I look forward in our conversation to discuss how we can further strengthen the good, and also further fight the bad to ensure a better future for our own peoples and for the world." Prime Minister Netanyahu added: "Let me say that this monument to the saving of Jews, Bulgarian Jews in Sofia, is something that evokes a special feeling in my heart and the hearts of the Jewish people, because it was an instance of honor and dignity and courage that not only saved Jews, but saved the honor of mankind. And therefore the battle against antisemitism that was so courageously manifested in Sofia, has to continue today in every country, and I trust that you will continue it."

以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡昨天（2018年9月5日，星期三）在耶路撒冷总理办公室会见了保加利亚总理博伊索·鲍里索夫。今天晚些时候，两位总理将出席特拉维夫纪念碑的奉献仪式 附照片来源：Amos Ben-Gershom（GPO） 内塔尼亚胡总理： “我们不仅是长期的私人朋友，而且保加利亚人民和以色列人民之间有着特殊的友谊。 在我们的相互访问中，我们经常进行的对话中一再表达这一点。我们每隔几周就互相交谈，我感谢你们来到这里纪念在大屠杀期间得救的保加利亚犹太人。 我很感谢你决定在耶路撒冷开设一个名誉领事馆，我希望，我希望，这是建立保加利亚耶路撒冷大使馆的第一步。 我们将谈论我们在许多领域的其他合作领域：网络，智能，健康，水等。但我认为，除了我们有许多共同利益的领域之外，保加利亚人民，保加利亚人民，以色列人民和来到以色列的保加利亚犹太人都有这种深切的同情和深深的感情。我们觉得我们是同一文明的一部分。这种文明受到各种力量的攻击，最明显的是好战的伊斯兰势力，以及它所支持的恐怖。它攻击我们，攻击阿拉伯人，攻击欧洲人，攻击美国人，攻击每个人。它在保加利亚袭击了你。我们不仅加入了促进美好的未来，也阻止了回归暴力的过去。 我期待在谈话中讨论如何进一步加强利益，并进一步打击坏处，以确保我们自己的人民和世界更美好的未来。 “ 内塔尼亚胡总理补充说： “让我说，这个拯救犹太人的纪念碑，在索非亚的保加利亚犹太人，在我心中和犹太人心中唤起了一种特别的感觉，因为它不仅是荣誉，尊严和勇气的一个例子。拯救了犹太人，也拯救了人类的荣誉。因此，反对在索非亚如此勇敢地表现出来的反犹主义的斗争，今天必须在每个国家继续下去，我相信你会继续下去。“ 以色列|内塔尼亚胡总理|保加利亚|博伊索·鲍里索夫|总理|新闻|环球新闻中心|环球新闻电视网
