I want to thank the American people - on both sides of the aisle - for years of financial, diplomatic, and military support, and for helping us carry the burden of defense.
From Reuven Rivlin
Everyone needs to understand that we were meant to live together in this country. We have to get to know one another; even if we don't agree, we have to enable each side to express itself.
Jerusalem should not tolerate any religious war.
We have always realized, as Israelis and as Jews, that we are not fighting Islam and thus avoided turning the Temple Mount issue into a war of Jews against Muslims.
Jewish and Arab neighborhoods in Jerusalem are interlaced one with the other.
We demand that people don't deny the Holocaust, and we can't ignore the tragedy of another nation.
Disagreements will always occur between us, but we all approach them wanting the best for each and every one of us, for the whole people.
I am not someone who will cancel plans because of personal danger, because I'm really not afraid.
There is a difficulty in combating the type of terror that is perpetrated by groups of radical Jews. It's terror from within, and it is difficult to bring these perpetrators to justice; we need to create tools in order to combat this style of terrorism.
There are many Palestinians, to be diplomatic, who believe there is no way to recognize Israel as a Jewish state, first of all, and there are a lot of people that believe there is no way to recognize Israel at all.
