La réception du 14 juillet (Bastille Day en anglais) s'est déroulée le jeudi 12 à la Résidence privée de l'ambassadeur de France en Israël, située à Jaffa, en présence de Shimon Peres, Président de l'Etat.
Un ami de Lee Zitouni a projeté à cette occasion "Justice pour Lee" en lettres lumineuses sur les murs de la résidence.
L'ambassadeur Bigot a rappelé que le père de Lee Zitouni avait accepté de déposer en France une plainte qui avait été retenue par la justice française.
Shimon Peres a déclaré qu'il tenait à être présent régulièrement à l'ambassade à l'occasion du 14 juillet pour remercier la France d'avoir été le premier état aux côtés d'Israël et de l'avoir aidé à se défendre.
'Justice for Lee' on Bastille Day

French ambassador's Bastille Day celebrations serve as backdrop for special kind of protest on behalf of hit and run victim Lee Zeituni
Shiri Hadar
Bastille Day celebrations held at the French ambassador's residence in Jaffa on Thursday were interrupted by a different kind of protest.
A friend of the late Lee Zeituni who was killed in a hit and run in September 2011, projected a light display with the words "justice pour Lee" (justice for Lee) on the wall of the ambassador's house. "Today we did not come here for demonstrations, we are past that phase," Roi Peled told Ynet.
France's national day was celebrated at the home of Ambassador Christophe Bigot with some 2,000 guests including President Shimon Peres, politicians, ministers and celebrities including Noam and Gilad Shalit.
Ambassador Bigot mentioned Lee Zeituni during the event and said that he was moved by the fact that her father agreed to accept his recommendation to file a complaint in France over his daughter's death.
"I thank him and know that he has made the right decision even though it is not easy," he noted. "And indeed, surprisingly, the French police decided yesterday to launch a criminal investigation against the killers of Lee Zituni. I have faith that the police will bring them to justice, and justice will be done."
The ambassador's statements were received with thundering applause from the audience.
In his speech the ambassador also said that he wanted to express his support and sympathy for the Syrian people and that "Bashar Assad must resign and go home."
President Peres also spoke at the event, making a comparison between the social protests in Tel Aviv and the French Revolution. He also said that "Israel has two major problems today, the Iranian nuclear problem and peace with the Palestinians. That is why our supreme goal must be peace; there is no substitute to peace."
Peres thanked Bigot for three wonderful years in Israel and said that he was sorry that Bigot was ending his term in the current year. Peres also thanked France for being the first state to stand by Israel and allow her to arm itself in order to defend itself.
"This is why I am meticulous about coming here every year. I thank France for those days and the deep friendship with Israel that has only grown stronger."
The justice for Lee campaign head quarters said they are still active in spite of promises made by various officials and will continue to keep a close eye on the situation until Lee's killers will be brought to justice.

La mort de Lee Zeitouni, une jeune Israélienne renversée par un 4 × 4 que conduisait un Français, en septembre 2011 dans les rues de Tel-Aviv, avait provoqué de vives tensions diplomatiques. Mais après trois ans de blocages administratifs, un procès devrait finalement avoir lieu en France. Les deux Français qui se trouvaient à bord du véhicule ont été renvoyés en correctionnelle à Paris, a-t-on appris mardi 2 septembre. La première audience a été fixée au 27 novembre 2014.
Eric Robic et Claude Khayat étaient rentrés en France aussitôt après l'accident. De nombreux Israéliens avaient alors réclamé leur extradition, mais la France n'extrade pas ses ressortissants hors de l'Union européenne.
« HOMICIDE INVOLONTAIRE »
La France a néanmoins répondu favorablement à une demande d'entraide judiciaire émise par Israël dans le cadre de l'accident. Le blocage juridique a finalement pris fin quand les parents de Lee Zeitouni se sont résolus, en juin 2012, à déposer une plainte avec constitution de partie civile au tribunal de Créteil.
En juillet 2012, le parquet de Paris a ouvert une information judiciaire puis, en septembre 2013, Eric Robic et Claude Khayat ont été mis en examen. Le premier, qui a reconnu être le conducteur, est poursuivi pour « homicide involontaire », aggravé par le non-respect d'un feu rouge et sa fuite, ainsi que pour « non-assistance à personne en danger ». Claude Khayat, le passager, est poursuivi pour non-assistance à personne en danger.
