Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, today (Tuesday, 28 March 2023), at the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) in Jerusalem, attended the traditional Passover toast with PMO employees.
Prime Minister Netanyahu:
"We are in the midst of an important debate; we will get past it. You will celebrate Passover. On seder night , you will sit with your families. You will argue a little, not too much, you will reach agreements. This is our goal, to reach agreements, both among you and among ourselves.
We need to build up our security because the threats against us have not ceased, but our strength is increasing. We want to expand the circle of peace with our neighbors. We have done an amazing thing here and we are not stopping. We have big plans, with spirit, with effort and with the basic unity that we must not forget, because it has accompanied us for 3,500 years. The path is continuing all the time and we will successfully proceed together, with this unique team.
Thank you. May you have a happy holiday."
In response to remarks by Employees' Committee Chairperson Sylvia Mordechai on the need to define the PMO as a unique ministry, Prime Minister Netanyahu said:
"You are unique. I think that you do unique work. This is the most important ministry in the country. It coordinates all tasks, obligations, regular work and long-term work. I would like to thank you for the effort throughout the year but certainly on the eve of Passover."
Participating in the event were Prime Minister's Chief of Staff Tzachi Braverman, PMO Director General Yossi Shelley, Cabinet Secretary Yossi Fuchs, Prime Minister's Military Secretary Maj.-Gen. Avi Gil, PMO Employees' Committee Chairperson Sylvia Mordechai, PMO Social Affairs Director Ruth Yitzhaki and PMO employees.
