Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein (Likud) responded Wednesday evening to the return of the body of the missing soldier, Zacharia Baumel.
"There are reports that stop everything and fill the heart with joy and pride, such as the knowledge of the return of the body of Zechariah Baumel to a grave in Israel. For 37 years we have waited for him and have not forgotten him for a moment. It is so sad that his dear father, the late Yona Baumel, who worked for many years to bring his body to Israel, did not get to hear the exciting news in his life, "Edelstein said.
