President Chaim Herzog represented Israel in a way that inspired respect, even admiration, around the world and within the country. I am certain, Bougie, that you will continue precisely in this manner. On behalf of myself, the Government of Israel and – I am certain – all citizens of Israel, I would like to wish you success.
I would also like to congratulate our friend Miriam Peretz for an honorable race. There were two worthy candidates here and I think that we can all welcome the choice and we are all certain that there will be something important and good for the State of Israel here in the Herzog family tradition. Many congratulations."
