President of the State of Israel, Shimon Peres: “Your Royal Highnesses, On behalf of the people of the State Of Israel, I wish to express our tremendous joy at the birth of your child – a royal baby, born in the most democratic country on earth. From Jerusalem, we pray for his health, his future, and his peace. May he live to a hundred and twenty years, and I know that the whole Jewish nation joins me in wishing the entire royal family a hearty Mazal Tov. God bless you.”
