Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today in honor of Victory Day (which fell
on May 9), met with a group of World War II Red Army veterans living in
Israel. He praised the veterans and wished them good health and long life.

"I am very moved to see you and the medals you received in the hard fighting
against the Nazi enemy. You are a symbol of Jewish heroism. If the Red
Army hadn't stopped the Nazis, the State of Israel would not exist. You are
held in the highest esteem," the Prime Minister said.

The veterans thanked Prime Minister Netanyahu and gave him a special medal.
