President Reuven Rivlin praised the Israel Police as "the foundation of our existence" at an Israel Police Medals of Excellence Ceremony in Bet Shemesh on Wednesday.
"The Israel Police is one of the foundations of our existence. There is no civil security without a strong police force,” said Rivlin. “At times of crisis, terrorism, crime, road accidents, fires and floods, on different fronts and facing many and varied challenges, you will be on the front line. You are the ones who step forward, separating civilians from terrorists, separating danger from victims.”
