The President of the State of Israel, President Shimon Peres, commented on the interview given by the Chairman of the Palestinian Authority, Abu Mazen, to Israel's Channel 2 news: "The Chairman of the Palestinian Authority, Abu Mazen, has proven through his deeds and his words that Israel has a real partner for peace. Abu Mazen rejects terrorism, guarantees that under his leadership he won't allow the outbreak of a violent third intifada, understands that the solution to the Palestinian refugee issue cannot be in Israel's territory and to the detriment of Israel's character, and stretches out his hand to Israel to restart negotiations."

We are joined by the ministers of the French government, the representatives of the State of Israel, our ambassadors, the representatives of the Jewish community here in Toulouse and in France, locally elected representatives, the mayor of Toulouse and parliamentarians. All those who contribute to the public spirit.
We are here together because seven and a half months ago, here, in front of this school, a terrorist as brutal as he was cowardly killed Jonathon Sandler, 30, his two children Arieh and Gabriel, as well as Myriam Monsonego, the principal's daughter, and seriously injured a 16 year old boy, Aaron Bijaoui.
