matters. Meetings with congressional and

thank you ministers of the government.
1:35

1:38
and are doing critical work to realize
1:40
these achievements. Of course, I would
1:44
like to expedite the rebuilding which
1:46
includes almost all if not all of the

ministries here. I think that there is
1:51
great value in this that there should be
1:53
a unification of forces here. This finds
1:57
expression among the people but also in
1:59
the government and the Knesset. I must
2:02
also say something about the opposition
2:04
which during the great challenge lined
2:06
up almost all of them. This is important
2:10
and I hope that it will be preserved as
2:12
a compass for the future. In any case,
2:15
each and every one of you has my
