Israeli President Isaac Herzog addressed the Makor Rishon and Ofra community Settlement Conference held in honor of the community’s 50th anniversary.
“Every time anew during my many visits across Israel, and certainly in Judea and Samaria, and certainly when I fly over the country in helicopters, I understand even more that the settlement movement is an important, formidable, and prosperous movement. How much the settlements are Israel’s defensive wall in every sense of the word,” Herzog declared.
