    Following is the statement issue by President Reuven Rivlin following the death of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia: 
    “I was saddened to hear of the passing of King Abdullah.  He was an example of grounded, considered and responsible leadership, with a deep religious tradition.  As ‘Guardian of the Holy Places’ of Islam, King Abdullah acted as a moderator, respecting the sensitivity and sanctity of Jerusalem and sought to promote a vision of prosperity for the region.  His wise policies contributed greatly to our region, and to the stability of the Middle East.”
