Ya'alon: Orbach was exceptional in Israeli politics
Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon eulogized Minister Uri Orbach after his passing Sunday. "In his wisdom, his intelligence, and special sense of humor, Uri was exceptional in Israeli politics; he was not respected and loved by everyone in vain. Uri was, first and foremost, a good man who loved people."
He added: "Uri had in him the special characteristics which merged between the religious and the secular, between the right and left, between Jews and non-Jews. He never spoke harshly and always respected others."
