“The State of Israel, and all the free world, is in the situation whereby the home front has become the front line. Terror threatens the citizens of Mali, Paris, Brussels, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Gush Etzion. We will not allow terrorism to dictate our lives, and I am proud that we do not close down our cities due to the threats.”

“At the same time … we will neither rest, nor be silent, until we return calm to the streets and to all the citizens of Israel. We shall neither rest, nor be silent, until the whole world recognizes this enemy, and strikes it wherever it may hide. We, the citizens of Israel, will not surrender.” (Israeli President Reuven Rivlin in a statement, 22/11/2015)
