Former US President George H.W. Bush hailed Peres for his ‘unyielding determination and principle’ which ‘helped guide his beloved country through the crucible of mortal challenge.’

‘But it was by his innate humanity, his decency, that Shimon inspired the world over and helped pave a path to peace broad enough that future generations will walk it one day, side-by side,’ the elder Bush said.
