President Reuven Rivlin met the young people marching to Jerusalem from the area around Gaza as they entered the city today to protest the security situation where they live.

The president told the group, “You are not the young people of the area around Gaza. You are the young people that embraces the whole country. We hear your call and it breaks our hearts. I promise you: we will not, and we must not, let the Code Red alarm become a routine. Keep the Color Red for the wildflowers that grow in the area.” The president then marched with the young people who continued from there towards the Knesset.
