President Isaac Herzog eulogizes former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger, who died overnight aged 100, as “one of the greatest diplomats” and “a giant who shaped world politics with his own hands and mind.”

Hailing Kissinger’s part in forging the 1979 peace deal with Egypt, Herzog says Kissinger told him on the latter’s 100th birthday that he has “always loved and supported Israel, and always will.”
