“Shamir was faithful to his principles, yet walked on eggshells as true political compromises are so necessary to achieving goals. And the goal was always, above all, ensuring the State of Israel’s peace and security. Not in another year, not in another decade, ensuring Israel’s peace for generations to come.” (Israeli President Reuven Rivlin speaking at an event commemorating 100 years since the birth of former Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, 28/02/2016)
