Rivlin tell European envoys: No country would accept a situation like this one
In a conversation with European envoys to Israel on the flare-up in Jerusalem and Gaza, President Reuven Rivlin says “no country in the world would accept a similar situation. We will never accept such a reality.”
He adds that “we will defend our citizens with all necessary means.”
Rivlin says Palestinian extremists “have turned the Temple Mount into a cache for weapons, and a base for attacks. We cannot allow this holy site to be used for violent disorder that threatens both Jewish and Muslim worshipers.”
