He had a storied career as one of the founders of Israel, Defense Minister during Operation Entebbe, Prime Minister, President and Nobel laureate for his role in negotiating the Oslo Accords. It is humbling to be invited to help represent the United States at the funeral of this accomplished world leader. Mr. Peres’s presence will be missed by many. I thank President Obama for including me at this historic occasion to remember the life of such an illustrious man.” A photo of Congressman Cohen and Shimon Peres from the Congressman’s 2007 trip to Israel can be found here. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
