Shaked: Peres had many rights in building Israel

Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked eulogized former President Shimon Peres, who die overnight Tuesday at age 93.

"The ninth president of Israel, Shimon Peres, had many rights in building the strength and security of the State of Israel. During his tenure as president he was able to connect the parts of the nation, and helped in elevating the international status of Israel among world leaders.

“Despite the fact that our political opinions were different, there is no doubt that all of his energy was devoted to the State of Israel,” said Shaked.
