Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein

said that “the Knesset’s 70th
[anniversary] celebrations are
an excellent opportunity to open
our home to the people of
Israel. The Knesset doesn’t
belong to the government, it
belongs to the people. The
‘White Nights’ event in the
Knesset will bring together
different parts of Israeli society,
which are represented in the
Knesset. We will celebrate 70
years of successful democracy
in the Knesset, together in our
capital, Jerusalem.”

Jerusalem’s Minister Ze’ev Elkin

said he’s pleased to take part in
an event that will attract people,
young and old, to Jerusalem.

Social Equality Minister Gila

Gamliel said the Knesset is a
dream come true for the Jewish
people, who wanted their own
sovereign state during their
2000 years of exile.
