Rivlin: We will bring to justice those who set the fires
President Reuven Rivlin vows that Israel will find and put on trial anyone who is found to have started one of the blazes currently burning across Israel.
“I am certain that when the investigation gets underway, it will not stop until we bring to justice those who set fires intentionally,” he says.
The president also praises “the firefighters and security forces who are all working tirelessly to save lives, to control the fire, and return all of the residents to their homes.”
