Social Affairs Minister Isaac Herzog, represented the government at the Remembrance Day ceremony for the Druze population in Isifiya. Throughout the ceremony, he stated, "We all know how difficult are the challenges, as well as the frustrations due to the factionalism coming from the fringes of the community. It is no simple thing at all. We all understand how difficult is your bereavement, how unbearable. We are aware of the enormous debt that the people owe you as well as the prevailing sense of disappointment amongst the Druze public sometimes. To all those I reply that, despite everything the connection between us is stronger than anything. It is composed of full-fledged brothers, blood brothers, who share the same fate.
