U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) issued the following statement today on the passing of former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon:
“I want to extend my deepest condolences to the people of Israel and the family of former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. In his long career dedicated to his country as a soldier and a public servant, Sharon created, lived and breathed Israel’s political and military history. As an officer and while serving in government, Ariel Sharon was a strong leader, pursuing his beliefs with conviction, but he was above all a patriot, whose love of Israel drove his every action.
“I hope his family, friends and loved ones find comfort in his memory and may the legacy of his life be for a blessing.”
