This year, as always over the past 11 years, the people of Israel stand together with all Americans in recalling the ruthless attacks of September 11th. Our solemn silence is your silence, and our commitment to preventing such atrocities in the future is as stalwart as yours.

 

The memory of the nearly 3,000 citizens and first responders who lost their lives on that traumatic day remains as hallowed as those of the great many Israelis who fell victim to terror. Together, they strengthen our resolves to defend our freedoms and protect the timeless values that bind us.
