Rivlin at Peres memorial: 'Israeli solidarity again being put to the test'
None
President Reuven Rivlin delivered a speech on Friday during a ceremony honoring the memory of Shimon Peres, who died in September 2016.
“Two years have passed since you left us. Israeli society refuses, as usual, to rest. It engages in stormy arguments. In the last few months, it seems that once again Israeli solidarity is being put to the test,” Rivlin said.
“The simple truth is that we are all sons and daughters of the State of Israel and of Israeli society. There are those who ask to what extent our country is really connected to everybody and good for everybody. You always knew to explain how we are all connected and responsible for one another,” he added.
