20 years ago on Sunday the 21st of Iyar, 5751, Morad Zamir, a close friend and confidante of Benyamin Netanyahu, came to 770 Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn to meet the Lubavitcher Rebbe.
Zamir requested a Brachah for Netanyahu. The Rebbe responded: "Tell him that certainly he'll continue to hold on to the hard line as before and (if) there be occasion to add strength, he certainly will find strength in himself to continue for the time being and after that."
Remarkably, exactly twenty years later, Netanyahu displayed that strength and courage in a meeting he had on Friday the 16th of Iyar with President Obama, on Tuesday the 20th of Iyar in a historical speech he gave to the US congress, and thereafter in several interviews he partook in, up-until he left the US back home to Israel on Wednesday the 21st of Iyar, 5771.
