Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Reuven Rivlin have joined a chorus of tributes to the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
“I join the American people in mourning the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, one of the great judicial leaders of our time,” Mr Netanyahu tweeted Sunday.
“She was proud of her Jewish heritage and the Jewish people will always be proud of her,” he said, writing in English.
Mr Rivlin described her as a “passionate champion of justice, democracy and equality under the law” and said she was inspired by the Torah’s urging: “Justice, Justice you shall pursue.”
