Israeli President Isaac Herzog on Saturday night signed the condolence book for Queen Elizabeth II at the residence of the British ambassador to Israel, according to a statement by his office.
“On behalf of the State and the People of Israel, I express my deepest condolences on the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, whose reign was momentous and historic. She was an icon of stability and [a] beacon of morality in the service of her people,” Herzog wrote.
“May G-d bless King Charles III and may he reign in peace. ‘The king by justice establishes the land (Proverbs 29:4),’” he added.
The Israeli president will represent Jerusalem at the Queen’s funeral in London on Sept. 19, according to Hebrew-language media reports.
