Minister for Jerusalem Affairs and Heritage (and former Education Minister) Rafi Peretz (Jewish Home) has paid tribute to Shmuel Abuhav, Director-General of the Education Ministry, after learning of his decision to resign.
"My dear Shmuel, in you the children of Israel had someone devoted to their welfare, someone professional and ethical," he said. "It was always a pleasure to work with you, and I have no doubt that you will continue to be a devoted public servant. I wish you all success in the future."
