President Isaac Herzog of Israel has called for national unity and responsibility for the country's future, emphasizing that military achievements must be coupled with political solutions for long-term security. Speaking at a state memorial ceremony for fallen soldiers from Operation Kadesh (the 1956 Sinai Campaign), Herzog stated that military victories alone do not guarantee lasting peace and stability.
He stressed the need for political leadership and the ability to translate battlefield successes into sustainable outcomes, drawing a parallel to the lessons of the 1956 campaign. "Even after the cannons fall silent, leadership is required. Responsibility. And the ability to turn military achievements into a better political and secure reality," Herzog said.
The president also highlighted that Israel's current situation demands not only military resilience but also internal cohesion. He asserted that national resilience is tested by the ability to stand together in the face of adversity, not just to confront external threats. "Our national resilience is tested not only by our ability to confront our enemies. It is also tested by our ability to stand shoulder to shoulder," he added.
The ceremony, held on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem, commemorated the historical lessons of the Sinai Campaign and their relevance to contemporary Israeli security challenges.
