Rivlin: The Golan is essential to our existence

President Reuven Rivlin on Thursday evening addressed an event marking 50 years since the renewal of the Jewish communities in the Golan.

Rivlin described the Jewish communities in the Golan as representative of “pure Zionism, as Zionism for Zionism’s sake, Zionism out of a dedication to the people of Israel, out of a love for the State of Israel, out of a commitment to the security of Israel.”
