Presiden Reuven Rivlin meets with ambassadors from Latin American countries this morning.

“These are not easy times, when we are across the region, dealing with the threat of terrorism and extremism,” says Rivlin. “We are seeking a return to dialogue and the negotiating table, instead of unilateral steps. It is important that we return to negotiations, and arrive at agreements which are as always, subject to one key principle – the rule of democracy. Every treaty or agreement that Israel’s government has brought before the Knesset has been accepted by the power of the majority.”

“I want to assure you, Mr. President, that we will do all we can to promote harmonious living for Israelis and the Palestinians, together, in mutual prosperity, and in security,” says Mexico’s ambassador in response.
