Israel’s mission to the world body held a memorial ceremony last night to commemorate Shimon Peres. Israel’s Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon, Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and ambassadors of more than 40 countries gathered to show their final respects for the man who often represented Israel on the global stage of the past 70 years. The Israeli Mission also opened a condolence book for the ambassadors to share their thoughts in memory of Peres, which will later be available to the general public.
