Yisrael Beyteinu Party Chairman MK Avigdor Liberman referred to the death of former minister Yehoshua Matza.
"I am very saddened by the passing of my friend Yehoshua Matza and share in the deep sorrow of the family. My first meeting with the late Yehoshua was about 40 years ago and the last one was a few weeks ago.
"Beyond a loyal friend, Yehoshua, was a guide for me in Israeli politics and he will be remembered forever as a person who dedicated his work and energy to Jerusalem and the State of Israel," Liberman said.
