President Isaac Herzog writes the following message in the guestbook at the Kemal Atatürk Memorial for the founding father of modern Turkey.
“It is a distinct privilege to be visiting this historic site, immortalizing the great visionary Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. May we follow in the wisdom of this great leader’s legacy of progress and peace, boldly choosing the path of collaboration and welcoming the many fruits to be reaped from the promise of a safer and more stable world for our nations, our faiths, our region and the world,” he writes in English.
He then finishes with a Hebrew quote from the book of Psalms, chapter 34.
“Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.”
