President Reuven Rivlin responded on Monday to the raging fire in the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.
"Notre Dame is one of the most beautiful symbols of Paris in particular and of France in general, but also one of the most important to every civilized man. Last January I looked at the skyline of Paris, which the cathedral's turret made even more beautiful. Our hearts are with the citizens of France and with the stories of the Notre Dame, the real and the fictional ones, in prayer that it will continue to stand forever,” said Rivlin.
