Ometz publicized an obituary following the passing of the movement’s chairman, Aryeh Avneri on Tuesday.

“This is difficult news for his wife and trusted partner Ziva, his sons and his grandchildren. It is also a blow to all those who knew him, the number one fighter of corruption in the name of purity of values within the ruling body. A public figure from a rare breed who passed away. It is so difficult to get used to the idea that his significant presence will be missing from all of our lives.”
