With just two days left until the general elections, Likud Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu toured the Golan Heights on Sunday along with Likud members Yossi Peled, former IDF Chief of Staff Moshe Yaalon, former Minister Benny Begin and Knesset Member Effie Eitam.
The five attended a Tu B'Shvat (Jewish Arbor Day) tree planting ceremony in the Aniam artists' village, and Netanyahu used the occasion to promise the attendants that "Jerusalem will not be divided. Gamla shall never fall again."
The Likud chairman's son, Avner, also took part in the tour and helped his father plant a eucalyptus tree.
"Years from now, my son will bring his children here and tell them how his father planted this tree, that is so rooted in the ground, just like we are rooted in the Golan," said Netanyahu.
