President Peres on Thatcher: Her death is loss to political world
President Shimon Peres memorialized former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher after her passing on Monday at the age of 87. “There are people and there are ideals, sometimes they come together. She was a loyal friend of Israel. Her death is a loss to the political world,” he said.
Peres said Thatcher had played a key role in the peace process with the Jordanians: “She acted to bring us closer and did it intelligently, faithfully and reliably. Both and I the king of Jordan knew she could be trusted.” (Noam Dvir)
