Liberian \u00a0President George Manneh Weah<\/strong><\/span><\/a> was greeted at the Grove of Nations in Jerusalem by KKL-JNF Director of Protocol Andy Michelson, who noted the symbolic importance in Jewish tradition of planting a tree.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBy planting a tree here today, in this grove, you are leaving a living thing here, which you will be able to come to see again on your next visit and see how it has grown,\u201d he said. \u201cFor us, the planting of a tree is very important, and we plant trees for life cycle events such as weddings and Bar Mitzvahs.\u201dThe Grove of Nations is especially reserved for visiting heads of state from all over the world, who plant olive trees as symbols of peace. The grove symbolizes the aspiration for peace between the countries of the world and solidarity with the state of Israel and the Jewish people. Weah is the 112th leader to plant a tree there since it was inaugurated in 2005.<\/span><\/p>\n

Liberia was one of the African countries that voted for the UN Partition Plan for Palestine in the UN General Assembly on the 29th November, 1947, in favor of an independent Jewish state.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am honored to be in Israel and today, we have seen so much,\u201d said Weah, who, in addition to his wife, the First Lady Clar Weah, was accompanied by a delegation of seven ministers as well as the chairman of Liberia\u2019s National Investment Commission and the mayor of Liberia\u2019s capital city Monrovia, Mr. Jefferson Koijee. \u201cWe are believers and what we have seen today is so amazing. I hope that Israel will have the peace it is yearning for. God bless Israel.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
