President Reuven Rivlin said, Monday night, "Our liberty is sacred, both sacred and hard. We know that there is a price to be paid for our existence here, for our liberty. There is a price, and we, in awe and terror, are willing to pay that price." Speaking at the opening ceremony for Remembrance Day at the Western Wall of the Temple in Jerusalem, Rivlin also said, “The terrible price of our existence is our obligation to care day and by night, to do everything, everything in order to fulfill the task; firstly, to ensure the safety of our citizens, the security of the State of Israel; and secondly, to do all we can to ensure the safety of our soldiers as they carry out their mission."
