Regarding last week’s article, “Bibi’s Paris Trip Continues To Reverberate,” why didn’t Israel send Reuven Rivlin, its president, to the anti-terror march in Paris following the terror attacks there?
The president is a non-political, ceremonial personality and Mr. Rivlin has shown sensitivity in the exercise of his office. He would have been the most appropriate representative. That way Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman and Jewish Home party leader Naftali Bennett and Prime Minister Netanyahu could or should well have stayed home, and all controversy would have been avoided.
