"This is one of the most moving moments in my entire time as Prime Minister of Israel," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said shortly before the return of Zecharia Baumel's body.
"Days ago, the remains of Baumel, who fell in the1st Lebanon War, were brought to Israel. He was absent for 37 years, during which the state invested enormous efforts to solve the riddle of his fate and the fate of his comrades from the same battle, Zvika Feldman and Yehuda Katz. "
