“We have lost one of the world’s greatest statesmen. Like no other, Shimon Peres strived for peace and reconciliation in the region and internationally. Security for the Jewish people was always his priority. He was firmly convinced that peace with Israel’s neighbours would serve the country’s long-term interests. He was Israel’s best ambassador, a man who knew that peace best serves the Jewish people. The life and work of Shimon Peres is an example to all leaders, citizens and youth who work for peace and co-operation across the world today. We should keep Shimon Peres in our memory always”.
