President Rivlin received President Lungu and welcomed him warmly to Israel. “Mr. President, it is a great pleasure to welcome you to Israel, the Holy Land, where you can walk in the footsteps of the prophets,” he said, and added, “There is only a small Jewish community in Zambia, but there is a Jewish Museum – a sign that while we build the future, we must remember the past and thank Zambians for the open arms with which they received Jewish refugees from Europe.”
