In a world too often driven by conflict, Shimon Peres constantly challenged us to move towards peace. I had the honor to meet with Shimon Peres twice as part of a congressional delegation and then again for a one-on-one meeting in 2013, which remains a highlight of my Senate tenure; his love for his country and commitment to the bilateral relationship between the United States and Israel was evident. Peres was a voice for peace, even when the odds were against him. We lost a true servant-leader today, and we must count ourselves as blessed to have been on this earth during his lifetime. My prayers are with his family and with the people of Israel.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
