“I am delighted to participate in this initiative, which is supported by the British Embassy, and which works to bring together all the citizens of Israel through sport. Today we see young Israelis – Jewish and Muslim children – playing football not just against each other, but together. This is just one example of coexistence between Jews and Arabs in Israel. We are cooperating together in Jaffa, in Akko, in Jerusalem, and across the country. Such coexistence can be an example for our relations with our neighbors the Palestinians, and the whole region.”
