President Rivlin hosts visiting Jordanian sheikhs
President Reuven Rivlin this morning hosted a delegation of Jordanian sheikhs representing different tribes from across Jordanian society.
The president told them that his father translated the Quran from Arabic to Hebrew and about life growing up in Jerusalem, his office says.
“Israel and the Hashemite Kingdom are working together in the understanding that we are destined to live together in this land,” the president says.
“In every group there are extreme elements, but we must seek out that which we share in common, and not that which divides us,” he says.
The sheikhs said they brought a message of peace.
