President Herzog surprised many when he accepted the invitation of the Hebron Jewish community to light the first candle of Chanukah in Hebron. Surprised many and upset many, especially on the Left form which he came.

Alongside that, we have to remember that our roots are not the only ones that go back to this cave. Especially today, and especially here, in this holy space dedicated to all sons of Abraham, we have to continue dreaming of peace, between all faiths and creeds in this land, and to condemn any type of hatred or violence." They still probably prefer the optics of him being present and lighting the menora regardless of what he said...
