President Reuven Rivlin has offered his congratulations on the end of the Christian school strike in Israel.
"As we enter the festival of Sukkot, a time of coming together and celebrating diversity, I want to congratulate the Education Ministry and the leaders of the Christian schools, for reaching an agreement which will enable the schools to reopen, and the children to return to their studies," said President Rivlin. "I believe this agreement was built by establishing trust between the two sides, and hope it will lead to the strengthening of relations moving forward."
He added, "I wish the students and teachers much success for a productive and enjoyable year."
