Netanyahu, speaking during the visit, described the city's growth as a "dream come true," stating that Kiryat Shmona is flourishing along with the entire Galilee region. Stern thanked the Prime Minister for his actions, calling it a "day of celebration" and acknowledging the "change" brought about.
