Knesset Speaker urges pardon after Netanyahu trial revelation

Amir Ohanaknesset Speaker
I was shocked to discover from the testimony of the former attorney general that even the remaining charges, after the panel of judges twice suggested that the prosecution withdraw the bribery charge, are based on illegal investigative actions carried out without his knowledge or authorization,

Your ability to find the strength to rise above the pain, to combat the immediate threat to your life, and to operate sound judgment demonstrates the strength of your character and the great valor you possess,
Your heroics place you in the distinguished ranks of Indian troops, who risked their lives over 100 years ago to liberate cities in the Holy Land, forever becoming a part of Israel’s history. You too, Captain Machchhar, will henceforth be a treasured part of our people’s history, further amplifying the warmth and connection between the Republic of India and the State of Israel."

We all share heartfelt prayers for your full and speedy recovery, and I look forward, once you have regained strength, to welcoming you to Jerusalem and expressing the appreciation and the love of our grateful nation,

2,000-year-old aqueduct that supplied water to Temple Mount uncovered in Jerusalem

The Lower Aqueduct was an impressive engineering project, probably built in the time of the Hasmonean kings to supply water to Jerusalem,
The aqueduct, whose construction is attributed to the days of the Hasmonean kings, tells of a leadership that knew how to think ahead: to expand Jerusalem's capacity to absorb residents, pilgrims, and public life around the Temple,
The aqueduct is an engineering marvel. Even today, with all our modern technology, building such a system would require extensive planning and effort,
Integrating the aqueduct into the entrance of the new neighborhood will give residents and visitors a direct connection to Jerusalem's rich history and to the deep bond of the people of Israel with its eternal capital,
