Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has offered his parting words for former Mossad head Meir Dagan, as he is laid to rest in the Rosh Pina military cemetery.
"The land in Rosh Pina now holds a bold and active fighter," he said. "Dagan symbolizes an important Zionist achievement. The ability to hold a sword in defense. Meir remembered that, at the decisive moment, no one came to save the Jews. We must remember this and not depend on the kindness of strangers."
Netanyahu added: "Meir showed courage in the fight against terror. He received the Medal of Courage after charging at a terrorist in Gaza."
