President Reuven Rivlin said to Hezbollah, at the opening of his meeting with Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, "All those who seek to harm us should know that we are ready and willing to defend Israel's citizens wherever they are, without hesitation. We also say to them that we are prepared and do not want to show just how well-prepared we are. You should know that the border can only be quiet if it is on both of its sides."
