Herzog remembers late US president Carter’s ‘deep commitment to forging peace between nations’
President Isaac Herzog eulogizes former US president Jimmy Carter, who died yesterday at age 100.
“In recent years I had the pleasure of calling him and thanking him for his historic efforts to bring together two great leaders, Begin and Sadat, and forging a peace between Israel and Egypt that remains an anchor of stability throughout the Middle East and North Africa many decades later,” Herzog said of the 1978 Camp David Accords.
“His legacy will be defined by his deep commitment to forging peace between nations. On behalf of the Israeli people, I send my condolences to his family, his loved ones, and to the American people.”
