Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu mentioned at the start of the government’s weekly meeting, that one year has passed since Minister Uri Orbach succumbed to a difficult disease.

“Uri was a great government minister, who acted to bring Israel’s vulture and heritage to all of its citizens… Every time he spoke during a meeting… everyone would listen, because he would speak with a mixture of wit, insight and a love for Israel. We are all pained by his passing.”
