President Reuven Rivlin posts a message on his Facebook page in Hebrew and Arabic, offering good wishes to Israel’s Muslim citizens on the holiday of Eid al-Fitr, marking the end of Ramadan, and issuing a message of coexistence:
The sons of Abraham, Isaac, and Ishmael are measured by their ability to respect the beliefs of others, even during these difficult, blood-filled times. In the shadow of these days, my belief is strengthened that trust-building, not only between leaders, but between nations living here, is a crucial condition for our founding a life of hope and a joint future. The establishment of this trust requires listening, constant dialogue, and understanding of the other.
We the sons of Abraham must live knowing that we weren’t doomed to live together; we are meant to live together.
