Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the Western Wall on Thursday evening ahead of Rosh Hashanah. Accompanied by Western Wall Heritage Foundation CEO Mordechai “Suli” Eliav, he recited a chapter of Psalms at the holy site. Netanyahu prayed for the success of the State of Israel and for the safety of IDF soldiers and security personnel. He also asked that the coming year be good and blessed for Israel’s citizens. The visit came hours before the holiday began, and the Western Wall Heritage Foundation supplied footage of it.
