In honor of today's American Independence Day, Israeli PM Benjamin
Netanyahu remarked: “This is a great day because on the 4th of July, all
Israelis unite with our American brothers and sisters. It's our celebration too.
That's because the history of our two countries is remarkably intertwined. The
Founding Fathers of America were inspired by the Bible, and specifically by the
Book of the Exodus, by the dream of building freedom in a new Promised Land,"
Netanyahu said. "The vision of justice and the vision of peace espoused by the
Prophets of Israel served as a guiding light for Americans from Thomas Jefferson
to Abraham Lincoln to Martin Luther King Jr. to many others seeking to form a
more perfect union,” he continued.
