President Reuven Rivlin addressed Thursday the death of Judge Micha Lindenstrauss.

"I regretfully received the announcement of the death of the state comptroller, former judge Micha Lindenstrauss, the president of the Haifa District Court, who was born in Berlin, Germany. Judge Lindenstrauss is a symbol of the Holocaust and the resurrection and the uncompromising commitment of the State of Israel to the rule of law and effective and penetrating self-criticism. "

"During the period of his tenure as auditor, the State Comptroller's Office became an authority that conducted a real-time and close inspection of the events and praised the work of the audit that he led in real time and defined it as life-saving.
