Jerusalem Day marks the reunification of Jerusalem in 1967—but it's a day filled with both pride and pain. For many Jews, it celebrates a return to sacred sites after 19 years of exile. For many Palestinians, it represents displacement and occupation.

The iconic image of Israeli paratroopers at the Kotel captures the emotional power of that moment. But Jerusalem’s story is layered—its streets hold both memory and tension.

Today, we celebrate Jerusalem Day, an Israeli national holiday marking the reunification of Jerusalem and the establishment of Israeli control over the Old City following the June 1967 Six-Day War. This year, 2024, we come together to honour this significant moment in our history, reflecting on its profound impact on our nation and our people.

Jerusalem Day is a time for state ceremonies and memorial services, allowing us to remember and pay tribute to those who fought for the city's reunification. It is a day of pride and reflection, as we acknowledge the resilience, determination, and courage that led to this pivotal event.

The reunification of Jerusalem is not just a historical milestone; it symbolizes the enduring connection of the Jewish people to this ancient and holy city. As we walk through the streets of Jerusalem today, we are reminded of its rich history, cultural heritage, and the diverse communities that call it home.

In 2024, we continue to strive for a Jerusalem that is inclusive and united, where people of all backgrounds can coexist peacefully. The city's vibrant tapestry of cultures and faiths stands as a testament to its unique and enduring legacy.

As we commemorate Jerusalem Day, let us also look to the future with hope and optimism, working towards a city that embodies the values of unity, peace, and mutual respect. May Jerusalem continue to be a beacon of light and a source of inspiration for generations to come.

On this day in 1967, the Six Day War began.

In a lightning-fast conflict, Israel launched a preemptive strike against Egypt, Syria, and Jordan, seizing the Sinai, Gaza, the Golan Heights, and unifying Jerusalem. It was a moment of survival and triumph, but also the start of a complex legacy that still shapes the region.

On this day in 1967, Israel completed its takeover of the Golan Heights during the Six-Day War.

This rugged plateau became a crucial security buffer for Israel, ending years of Syrian shelling from above.

But it also displaced thousands of Syrians and remains a point of international debate. For Israelis, it’s a symbol of safety and survival; for Syrians, a lost homeland
