Reuven Rivlin

Thank you! תודה רבה!

I came from this beloved and dear people, this stiff-necked and wonderful people. I came from the Israeli people and today I return to it. It is true that I came, we came, as two, and I leave here on my own today, but not alone.

Every step I took, when I lay down and when I got up, the good of the country and of the Israeli people were always at the forefront of my mind. I pray I did enough.

I was nine years old when the State of Israel was established. I saw the Israeli flag, blue and white, flying then. For me, the State of Israel will never be something I take for granted. Long live the eleventh President of the State of Israel! Long live the State of Israel!

Thank you to my Nechama, who I miss every single day. Thank you to my sons and daughters, to my grandsons and granddaughters. Now I will return to being your father and grandfather, with tremendous pride.
