Netanyahu pays tribute to former Rabin aide Haber

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pays tribute to the late Eitan Haber, calling him a talented writer and dedicated aide to Israeli leaders.

“I am saddened by the passing of Eitan Haber, one of the pillars of Israeli journalism for decades,” says Netanyahu. “Haber made a reputation for himself as a thorough and trustworthy writer. The security of Israel was always at the forefront of his mind, and he wrote about it clearly, originally and in a fascinating way,” says Netanyahu, according to a statement from his office.

“Eitan Haber assisted several leaders of the country, led by Yitzhak Rabin. We will never forget his emotional and dramatic statement on the shocking murder,” says Netanyahu.

Netanyahu also praises Haber’s efforts “that paved the way for the peace deal with Jordan.”

“I recall my many conversations with him over the years, the many insights I gleaned from his wisdom and experience,” adds Netanyahu, sending condolences to his family.
