At TA solidarity rally with France, speakers stress common values
About 2,500 people participated in an event at Rabin Square to show support and solidarity with terror victims in France.
The crowd included many French immigrants. In addition to the French ambassador and former president Shimon Peres, opposition leader Issac Herzog and Interior Minister Silvan Shalom also participated.
All of the speakers stressed the common values shared by France and Israel, chiefly the love of liberty.
The event closed with the singing of the Marseillaise and Hatikvah, with many of those gathered singing along to both anthems.
