President Isaac Herzog signs a condolence book for Queen Elizabeth II at Lancaster House in London, after paying his respects as she lies in state at the parliament.
In an English-language video message, Herzog offers his condolences on behalf of Israel and the Jewish people. “She was truly a leader that transcends time, intergenerational, she saw where the world was 70 years ago and how it is today. Her reign was truly majestic and she truly personified the word majesty.”
He also wishes King Charles luck in his new role: “I would like to wish King Charles III a long reign of peace, justice, stability and dignity… God bless the king.”
