President Reuven Rivlin said Thursday, "Even now, when the State of Israel is in an era of risks and opportunities, an era that can change the face of the Middle East as we know it, we must not forget the lesson that we must always be in doubt.
Speaking at the memorial ceremony marking the 45th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War, Rivlin continued, Maintain the freedom of interrogation and criticism, to defend freedom of thought. No more concepts, no more leadership that is fed on one source, speaks in one voice and rejects the challenging voices, because the price, as we have learned, is too heavy, very heavy."
