Israeli President Isaac Herzog attended the traditional main prayer ceremony of the Sigd holiday, held at the Armon HaNatziv (Governor's Palace) promenade in Jerusalem.

In a social media post about the ceremony, Herzog stated that he had met with Israeli citizens of Ethiopian origin and celebrated the holiday with them.

In his post, Herzog described the immigration of Ethiopian Jews to Israel as a "magnificent journey," saying that it had transformed their longing for Jerusalem into reality.

Noting that the Sigd holiday serves as a reminder of social responsibilities, Herzog emphasized that beyond fulfilling the dream of immigration, every individual must feel a sense of belonging to society, be respected and be treated equally.

Call to "bring Haimant Kasao home"

President Herzog noted that Haimant Kasao's family was also present at the ceremony, referring to Kasao as "the daughter of us all."

Herzog said he had reminded those attending the ceremony of their responsibility to continue searching for Kasao and to "bring her home."
