Reuven Rivlin
The Prince of Wales is to attend the Fifth World Holocaust Forum at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem; the visit will be his third to the Jewish state.
Abdallah Chatila’s “seemingly simple” but “truly human” act “shows the whole world how to fight the glorification of hatred and incitement,” says Israeli President Reuven Rivlin.
There is “no room for anti-Semitism in the halls of power,” Israeli President Reuven Rivlin tells Chief Rabbi of the United Kingdom Ephraim Mirvis during a meeting in London.
Anti-Semitism czars from five countries will gather on stage for the first time in Jerusalem to prepare the ground for an international summit in Israel on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Jan. 27.
“There is no justification for forcing another election cycle—the third—on the Israeli public. If no government is formed, the Israeli public are the ones who will pay the price,” said Israel’s President Reuven Rivlin.
The major party heads are between a rock and a hard place, with no one budging for now.
“We won’t be able to form a government unless we do it together,” said the Israeli prime minister, citing security, diplomatic and economic concerns. “The nation needs to be united and prepared.”
The Israeli prime minister, who leads the Likud Party, will have 28 days to form a new government.
“This is not the time to exclude people. A shared and equal government is possible. It can and it must express the different voices in society,” said Israeli President Reuven Rivlin.
“The argument right now revolves around the question as to who should serve as prime minister first and who second. I hope President [Reuven] Rivlin succeeds in bridging both sides, and that a decision will be made on the matter,” said Yisrael Beiteinu Party leader Avigdor Lieberman.
“A broad unity government is the only feasible option,” says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling on Blue and White leader Benny Gantz to sit down for a “frank discussion.”
At the start of the meeting with Blue and White, Israeli President Reuven Rivlin told the party faction, “The people of Israel want a government that will be stable. A stable government cannot be a government without both of the two largest parties.”
