President Isaac Herzog said at a ceremony at the President's Residence in memory of Yitzhak Rabin that "the abhorrent murderer did not aim his weapon at Yitzhak Rabin alone, but at the heart of the nation. The despicable murderer of the prime minister sought to place his weapon above public decision-making. To resolve a dispute through violence. Through murder. By threatening our very existence here as a Jewish, democratic and sovereign state. The lesson from that cursed night must be internalized again. There is no place for violence among us. And if we give it space and ignore it, we will endanger our very existence."
