Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday marked the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, saying that “we stand with the United States and the free world in the global fight against terrorism.”

The United States Embassy in Jerusalem will also mark the anniversary of 9/11 with an event that will be livestreamed at 6 p.m. IST.

“On the 22nd remembrance day of the 9/11 attacks, we solemnly honor the nearly 3,000 souls, including five lost Israelis, and honor the bravery and memory of the first responders who served that day and since,” the embassy tweeted.

The event will take place at Israel’s 9/11 Living Memorial Monument, the only memorial site outside of the United States to include all the names of the terror victims.

The 9/11 Living Memorial was established in 2009 by KKL-JNF and JNF-USA. The 30-foot bronze sculpture, created by the Israeli artist Eliezer Weishoff and KKL-JNFs’ landscape architect Yechiel Cohen, portrays the American flag folded into the shape of a memorial flame. A metal shard from the ruins of the Twin Towers is incorporated into the monument’s base, which overlooks the Jerusalem Hills and Arazim Valley.
