million will be allocated for this purpose. In the second stage, a
significant renovation and upgrade of the site is planned in the framework
of the national heritage plan.

soldiers will continue. As I said yesterday at the start of the weekly
Cabinet meeting

Israelis will be able to stand on the ground on which the story of heroism
of the Six Day War took place."
