JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged Sunday that his government would allocate the necessary funds to complete a long-promised museum honouring Jewish World War II veterans. The museum appeared doomed when the government did not renew its matching funds commitment four years ago. “Today we are keeping another promise that we made a few years ago to our cherished veterans,” Netanyahu said at his weekly Cabinet meeting. “This memorial site will now also include a display of the Jewish fighters who fought in World War II. Individual memorials exist, and a dwindling population of Soviet veterans still mark Victory Day with their medals pinned on old uniforms.
