Thank you for the introduction. Should we shoot my pes should my mother my in-laws my beautiful wife my children and all the family members who are watching at home who cannot come tonight. I am forever grateful for Israel. I've been saying to everybody, I am proud to be a year a Jew and I'm proud to be part of this greater family. for me to stand here and to say publicly to everyone, thank you for your prayers. Thank you for being there. Thank you for being with us. I think I spoke to my wife the half an hour we were trying to save my daughters was the only time I felt alone. Otherwise since then and the whole thing how it happened I still we saw it with our own eyes we didn't understand no one else was there to jump in so I just jumped in the water why would any other father do except that I don't know how to swim and to see I really thought we're going to be collecting body parts because you know they went so fast slammed into a slab of cement. I thought, you know, the head is going to be one part, the body is going to be another. And just to come over, got closer, we didn't blow up those jet skis. And to come and see my daughter first I saw Aviva face down and they kept saying, you know, we have one, we have one. I didn't understand. They're talking about my daughter Aviva. I thought they were talking about so with my wife and I, we pushed them up. My wife is screaming at the top of our lungs, please call 911. And for some reason, the guy who's supposed to be with us disappeared left the scene of the crime.
