Rivlin on Jerusalem Day: We are destined, not doomed, to coexist
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePresident Reuven Rivlin tells a ceremony to mark Jerusalem Day that while the capital city embodies “the spirit of the Jewish people,” Jews and Muslims in Israel are destined to coexist.
“We must remember that Jerusalem is a microcosm of Israel’s entire society and the task of [achieving] familiarity between sectors and between tribes is a national one. If we remember that we are not condemned to live together, but are destined to live together, Jerusalem will be not just a city of the past, but also a city of hope, a city of the future,” he says, according to Walla.
“Today more than ever, Jerusalem must be, for all of us, a real commitment,” he says.
