The municipality of Tel Aviv-Jaffa this morning hung a sign of the full version of the Declaration of Independence, and this “in light of the mood in recent times in the country”, according to senior officials of the municipality. Later today, the Tel Aviv Municipality will install a sign at the entrance to the building, with a quote from the scroll – “The State of Israel will maintain complete social and political equality of rights for all its citizens, regardless of religion, race or gender.”
The sign, 36 meters long and 10 meters wide, was hung on the eastern front towards Ibn Gvirol Street, almost the entire length of the city hall.

The Declaration of Independence established the foundations of freedom, justice and peace. This morning we hung the Declaration of Independence on the wall of the city hall.
