“I believe that the unity among us is much broader than one tends to think,” Netanyahu said at the state ceremony. In his remarks, Israeli President Isaac Herzog said that there is a need for diplomacy after Israel’s recent military successes. Herzl’s paternal grandparents lived near Belgrade, and his grandfather served as a Jewish community leader who helped shape young Theodor’s attachment to Judaism and Zionism. The event, which a small group of dignitaries attended, involved “completing the last chapter of Herzl’s request,” Yizhar Hess, vice chairman of the World Zionist Organization, told JNS. On Wednesday, the remains of Herzl’s grandparents reached their final resting place, and the same curtain used to cover the grave of the grandson was used for his grandparents.
