Yachimovich: Shamir dedicated his life to state
None
Opposition Leader Shelly Yachimovich has offered her condolences over the death of Yizthak Shamir, Israel's seventh prime minister, who passed away Saturday at the age of 96. "He was a determined prime minister who dedicated his life to the state. He followed his ideological path honestly and humbly, as a leader should," she said.
"The citizens of Israel will always remember the wisdom he demonstrated during the First Gulf War. He showed restraint and saved Israel from undue entanglement in the Iraq War. This decision proved to be a brave and wise act of leadership." (Attila Somfalvi)
