President Rivlin at the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations’ Annual National Leadership Mission:

"When Israeli and international businesses appear on a blacklist just because they serve Israelis living in the settlements, we will stand with them. We thank the United States for standing with us against this shameful political decision. Israelis and Palestinians are not doomed to live together; it is our destiny to live together and we must build trust between us. Boycotts do not help this end.

“Like all families, we have disagreements. But our starting point must always be the unbreakable bonds between us. A safe and secure Israel is essential for the survival of the Jewish people, and a strong sense of connection among world Jewry is vital to the survival of Israel. We must find ways to celebrate our diversity, and to write, together, our future.”

This morning, the Islamic Jihad terror organization attempted to carry out a terror attack adjacent to the Gaza Strip security fence. In addition, earlier this evening, rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory. 

In response, a short while ago, IDF fighter jets struck Islamic Jihad terror targets south of Damascus, as well as dozens of Islamic Jihad terror targets throughout the Gaza Strip. 

Israel will respond to any terror acts of the Islamic Jihad that endanger Israeli civilians and harm its sovereignty.
