President Rivlin speaks of the latest terror attack, in which 21-year-old Hadar Buchris was murdered by a Palestinian terrorist.
“This evening’s event is painfully sullied by the terrible terror attack which took place today, and against the background of the ongoing terror attacks in the Gush, as in Tel Aviv, Rivlin says.
“The State of Israel, and all the free world, is in the situation whereby the home front has become the front line. Terror threatens the citizens of Mali, Paris, Brussels, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Gush Etzion. We will not allow terrorism to dictate our lives, and I am proud that we do not close down our cities due to the threats.”
“At the same time,” states the president, “we will neither rest, nor be silent, until we return calm to the streets and to all the citizens of Israel. We shall neither rest, nor be silent, until the whole world recognizes this enemy, and strikes it wherever it may hide. We, the citizens of Israel, will not surrender.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
