In a Tweet, Mk Merav Michaeli (Zionist Union) lamented the passing of Senator John McCain, writing:""There is nothing more liberating than fighting for a greater purpose than yourself," said the man who refused to be released from captivity before other prisoners. Senator John McCain died last night. He was a great friend of Israel whose entire life stood up for what he believed in and in the end was one of the few in his party who stood up to Donald Trump. A rare and brave man."
