I am very happy that I decided to come to Haifa and experience Israel firsthand. For me, Israel is a safe place, and I really loved being here –that’s what I’ll share when I return home. I am deeply saddened and worried about the fate of the hostages, and I admire how Israelis continue with their lives despite the difficult situation. I wish peace and tranquility for the State of Israel, and I pray for it all the time.
