Today we held a special government meeting in Jerusalem, at Beit Fromin, the seat of the First Knesset. Jerusalem is not just our historical capital.

It is the heart of our revival. Therefore, we are not content with words. We are making practical decisions, investing, building, and developing. Today, we made a series of important decisions for Jerusalem: We will protect and develop the Western Wall area, including upgrading infrastructure and continuing archaeological excavations that strengthen our historical connection to the holiest site for the Jewish people. We will invest in the Shalva Center, and establish there a dedicated assistance center for people with disabilities during emergencies. This is important humanitarian and social news for Jerusalem and for all of Israel. We will develop the ancient Mamilla Pool and transform it from a neglected corner into a beautiful park with water, for the benefit of Jerusalem’s children, the city’s residents, and its visitors. We will advance the Heritage Center in Atarot, which documents important chapters in Jewish settlement and the history of Jerusalem. Alongside all of this, we are also advancing future technologies in Jerusalem: artificial intelligence, national digital infrastructure, energy, environment, and infrastructure. We are connecting our deepest roots to the great future of the State of Israel. Jerusalem is a dream of generations. Today, we continue to fulfill it.
