Yesterday we made history, and today Jewish families woke up in their home in Jericho," Gantz said. He also extended gratitude to Daniela Weiss and the Nachala Movement for their determination and partnership, and to the pioneer families for turning the vision into a home, concluding, "We have returned home."
