EILAT IS THE FUTURE OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL This was stated yesterday by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the occasion of the 62nd event of the liberation of the city of Eilat. Bibi spoke when he went to Eilat as a young soldier and the meteoric rise experienced by the city since. He also thanked his "friend" (I quote) Mayor Meir Yitzhak Halevy for his work and confirmed that the train would connect the resort town to the rest of the country within the next few years.
