Rivlin says he looks forward to future Biden visit to Jerusalem

President Reuven Rivlin, in a video, extends further congratulations to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

“Mr. President-elect, I was pleased to welcome you to Jerusalem as vice president and I look forward to welcoming you to Jerusalem as president of the United States. As a longstanding friend of Israel, you are now going to be the leader of the free world and of Israel’s closest and most important ally. Our bond is more than friendship. It is based on values, on our shared commitment to freedom and democracy,” says Rivlin in the English-language statement.

“I also want to thank President Trump for four years of partnership, strengthening Israel’s security, and to thank the American people for their support and friendship. I have no doubt that we will continue to grow and flourish in the future. God bless America. God bless all of you.”

I send my blessings and the blessings of all the people in #Israel to our friend @JoeBiden on your election as the 46th President of the United States of #America, and also to Vice President-elect @KamalaHarris. I wish you congratulations and much success. pic.twitter.com/vXQKQGIYcC
