The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) issued a statement Monday mourning the loss of Israel's fifth president, Yitzhak Navon.
“President Navon believed strongly in the value of promoting positive relations between Jews and Arab and upheld coexistence as essential to maintaining a strong and culturally vibrant Jewish state,” said Jonathan A. Greenblatt, ADL National Director.
“His pragmatic leadership will be greatly missed, and his memory will be for a blessing.”
