Dozens of youth from the Eshkol, Shaar Hanegev and Sdot Negev Council Regions were hosted this evening at the President's Residence in Jerusalem to watch the final of soccer's World Cup.
President Reuven Rivlin told his guests, "I hope that next time there will be a sporting event, I will come to see it at your place without having to worry. You, your parents, your teachers and the youth counselors - All of you stand with great courage in the face of crises and threats. You know very well that we will never leave our country, and no one can threaten us, neither with bombs nor with [arson] kites."
