Ynet- Biden was in Israel as head of the US delegation to the funeral of former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who passed away Saturday at the age of 85 after spending eight years in a coma. Biden was accompanied by Rep. Eliot Engel and Rep. Wasserman Shultz.
Vice President Biden thanked President Peres for his welcome and said, “President Obama wanted me not only to be here to pay our respects to a great war hero, but to a man who knew the changes that occurred in Israel.”
