“We must find a way not only to fight side by side, but to live side by side. The covenant between us, between the Jewish and Bedouin societies in Israel, is a deep and solid bond, rooted in the Bedouin community’s preservation of its own distinct characteristics and unique identity.”

(President Reuven Rivlin addressing a memorial event for Israeli Bedouin security personnel, 06/09/2016)
