Minister for Social Equality Gila Gamliel (Likud) offered her condolences on the passing of television personality Moti Kirschenbaum.
"Moti Kirschenbaum, one of the founding fathers of Israeli media, is no more. I did not always agree with him and with his opinions, but I always, always valued his dedication to Israeli society and its improvement," Gamliel wrote on Facebook. "Yes, his life's work earned him the Israel Prize but, in truth, his life's work in culture and media was a prize for all of us."
