A serious crime was committed here and needs to be repaired, Rivlin said, adding that the Arab population will always be part of the flesh and blood of the State of Israel. The Israeli President Rivlin acknowledged that #Israel needs to be honest and admit that the #Arab sector in Israel has suffered from years of discrimination and that many Arabs in Israel are faced with racism from Jews. Rivlin promised that Israel would never try to push anyone out of the country, additionally calling upon the leadership of Israels Arab population to act responsibly and denounce violence and terrorism. #Rivlins predecessor, Shimon Peres, apologized for the incident in 2007 while on a visit to the village during the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha. However, Rivlin is the first Israeli president who attended the annual memorial ceremony, where he laid a wreath at City Hall in memory of those killed.
