Erdogan sends condolences to Rivlin on death of his wife, Nechama
‘I share your pain with all my heart,’ Turkish president tells president and people of Israel
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan joined foreign leaders in offering his condolences to President Reuven Rivlin and the nation of Israel on the death of Rivlin’s wife, Nechama, who was laid to rest Wednesday.
“I have learned with great sorrow the passing away of your spouse,” Erdogan wrote in English in a letter to Rivlin expressing his condolences “to your family and the people of Israel,” and noting her death had “deeply saddened the people of Israel.”
“The farewell of our closest and most beloved family members is a big loss which can’t be comforted,” Erdogan wrote.
Israel’s First Lady was buried in a state funeral at Jerusalem’s Mount Herzl national cemetery. Rivlin died a day earlier, on the eve of her 74th birthday, at Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva, where she was being treated after relapsing following a lung transplant.
“I share your pain with all my heart,” Erdogan wrote.
US President Donald Trump also expressed condolences over the death of Rivlin, saying she had represented her country “with grace and stature.”
Trump, French President Emmanuel Macron and German President Frank Walter Steinmeier all called Rivlin’s office to express their condolences.
