During Prince Williams meeting with Israel's President Reuven Rivlin at the president's official residence, Rivlin asked William to send a 'message of peace' to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. 'I am asking you to send a message of peace to President Abbas — a message of peace that the time has come for us to find a way to build confidence as a first step toward the understanding that we need to put an end to our mutual tragedy,' Rivlin said.
