Rivlin: We haven't done enough to establish our shared fate

Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin said during the torch lighting ceremony in Mount Herzl, "On the 63rd year of our independence, many among us view the Israeli mosaic as something that must be battled against, and not as a reality that we must embrace.

"We have spent too much time trying to undermine our shared fate, and not enough time establishing our shared life here," he said. (Omri Efraim)
