National Unity party chairman Benny Gantz paid tribute to the poet and writer Yonatan Gefen who passed away.
"Yonathan Geffen was a special combination - he was a patriot who fought for the country, and an idealistic protester who went against almost every norm. He was tough and cynical, and he knew how to touch everyone with the deep emotions expressed in his poems - from the oldest who read his columns and stories, to the children who fell asleep by the time they counted 16 sheep. He spoke and wrote about love and peace."
