From Jewish Agency praises Peres as one who cared about each Jew
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on Google“Peres was always driven by a deep sense of responsibility toward the entire Jewish people. He concerned himself with the fate and future of the entire nation, but also with each of its sons and daughters, both near and far,” Natan Sharansky, head of the Jewish Agency for Israel, says.
Sharansky recalls that Peres was “the first Israeli” he saw when he arrived from Russia after his many years in prison and that he would always remember the then-prime minister as “the individual who started the Israeli chapter of my life.”
