Immigration and Absorption Minister Ofir Sofer has decided to retire from political life. He thanked his party leader Bezalel Smotrich and stated that ‘the State of Israel must continue to fortify its security and establish a strong and solid iron wall, but also one that rests on spirit, values and unity. It is incumbent upon all of us to cultivate a unifying spirit among the people of Israel.’ According to him, ‘The bereavement and wounds of war will bear scars that will not heal quickly. These will remind us all, every day, of the magnitude of the responsibility and commitment to the right path. The citizens of Israel have a duty to demand a discourse of unity, solidarity and true partnership.’
