"We must ensure that there is a strong Jewish majority, otherwise the term 'Jewish State' becomes devoid of meaning," said Olmert. "The leadership of Israel must adhere to Herzl's vision to ensure a Jewish majority in the country."
Olmert told the Knesset that Herzl day was dedicated to the legacy of Herzl, who realized that a Jewish state was the only hope for Judaism's survival.
