President Rivlin meets Gaza Belt youth

Jerusalem, 6 November, 2018 (TPS) -- President Reuven Rivlin met Tuesday, November 6, with members of the Otef.gaza Instagram page founded by youths living in the Gaza Belt region to show what life looks like under constant attack from incendiary attacks and mortar fire. The page, which opened two weeks ago, already has 61,100 followers. President Rivlin, seen examining an incendiary kite, told his visitors that he had also grown up under fire during the Jordanian siege of Jerusalem.
“These kites are supposed to be the dream of every child, playing with them in the breeze. Under Hamas, these toys have become weapons of war. I so hope that weapons go back to being toys soon,” Rivlin said.
