“On behalf of the Israeli American community, we send our deepest condolences to Ariel Sharon’s family  and to all the people in Israel,” said Shawn Evenhaim, Chairman of the Israeli-American Council (IAC). “Sharon was a true leader and a brave and persistent soldier who dedicated his life to the State of Israel and its people. He worked tirelessly in the military and in the government toward a better future for the people of Israel and for the entire region. We share the sadness of his passing with all  our brothers and sisters  in Israel and all  Jews across the world. He will be long remembered for his lifetime commitment to the State of Israel and  will hold a prominent place in the history of the State of Israel”.
