2. “This morning (June 7, 1967 /28 Iyar 5727 ), the Israel Defense Forces liberated Jerusalem. We have united Jerusalem, the
divided capital of Israel. We have returned to the holiest of our holy places, never to part from it again. To our Arab
neighbors we extend, also at this hour—and with added emphasis at this hour—our hand in peace. And to our Christian
and Muslim fellow citizens, we solemnly promise full religious freedom and rights. We did not come to Jerusalem for the
sake of other peoples' holy places, and not to interfere with the adherents of other faiths, but in order to safeguard its
entirety, and to live there together with others, in unity.” (Defense Minister Moshe Dayan , June 7, 1967 (28 Iyar 5727 )
