"On January 11, 2014, Ariel Sharon, former Prime
Minister of Israel, passed away at the age of 85. He was not only a
famous politician, but also a great commander in the IDF whose
leadership changed the course of history.
Today, commanders, politicians and people from all
around the country gather to pay their final respects to one of Israel’s
greatest military heroes.
Here are some of their moving words from the past few days and from throughout the years."
" Today, Israel’s former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon passed away
at the age of 85. He was a courageous defender whose leadership changed
the course of our history. As a Major General in the Six Day War,
he famously overpowered Egyptian forces in the Sinai, commanding an
historic battle that saved Israel from defeat. He pushed back our
enemies again in 1973,
secured our borders as Defense Minister, and shepherded Israel through
its darkest days of terror as Prime Minister. His vision and sacrifice
will remain eternal in our thoughts. May his memory be blessed."
