Justice Minister Gideon Sa'ar paid tribute to the late Supreme Court Justice Gabriel Bach, who passed away on Friday.

"I was sorry to hear of the passing of Gabriel Bach, a former state attorney and a Supreme Court justice. The story of his life symbolizes the turning point in the history of our people: as a boy, he fled with his family from Nazi Germany before Kristallnacht. He later immigrated to Israel and served as the prosecutor of the tyrant Eichmann before a court in sovereign Israel. My condolences to his family. May his memory be a blessing."
