New Hope Party Chairman Gideon Sa'ar paid tribute to former minister Yehoshua Matza, who died at the age of 89.

"Former Minister Yehoshua Matza joined Lehi in his youth. A native of the Old City of Jerusalem and a distinct Jerusalemite all his life. A real Betarist, a clean-handed and honest man, who served the public with faith," Sa'ar said.
