Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu eulogized former minister Binyamin (Fouad) Ben-Eliezer, Monday afternoon.
Speaking at Ben-Eliezer's funeral in Holon, Netanyahu said, "In some meetings I had with him he told me about his childhood and the story of his immigration to Israel. I saw how Zionism, without quotation marks, beat within him. He expressed the idea of revival, the idea of the ingathering of exiles and the idea of the relationship with the Arab world and the minorities living among us. I loved Fouad, and it was hard not to love him."
