President Isaac Herzog: "Beyond the glorious and longstanding tradition, this is an important educational occasion in which we will celebrate the achievements of Israeli sports and at the same time deal with the importance of eradicating violence in sports. I believe with all my heart in the power of Israeli sports to inspire us to rewrite the rules of our game as a society, especially in the face of the violence, polarization and divisions we have built."
Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar: "Sport - everyone's game. It is not in vain that this is the sign of the event and the message that will come out of it. Only through listening, restraint and friendship can we all unite and enjoy quality and ethical sports."
