JERUSALEM, ISRAEL — Marking the 75th anniversary of modern Israel’s independence in 1948, Israeli President Isaac Herzog this morning described the Jewish state as a “modern miracle.”

Herzog specifically cited the writings of the biblical prophet Zechariah as one of the inspirations for the resurrection of the country after centuries of exile.
