Israël viert 70 jaar onafhankelijkheid

By Duncan Mil

April 18, 2018 - April 20, 2018 - Israël viert 70 jaar als soevereine staat, te beginnen met een Onafhankelijkheidsdag-ceremonie op woensdag, die op zaterdag eindigt, na 70 uur festiviteiten.

Events will include the largest fireworks display in the country’s history, followed by an all-night beach party stretching along 70km from Tiberias to Eilat.” The $30 million-party will end Saturday night with a musical event that represents a soundtrack of Israeli society.

On May 14 -- the actual day of the anniversary -- The United States will relocate its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

The White House decision has sparked a furious reaction from Palestinians, who object to the U.S. recognition of the disputed city as Israel's capital and call May 14 the Naqba, their “day of catastrophe.”
