Brazilian President Michel Temer expressed grief over the death of Israel's Nobel-winning former president Shimon Peres on social media.
“I regret the death of the great Israeli leader Shimon Peres, whom I had the chance to meet in 2013 during a visit to Israel. His fight for peace will remain a part of his important legacy for humanity,” Temer wrote on his Twitter page.
The Israeli leader died Thursday evening in Tel Aviv, Israel. Peres had been admitted at the Sheba Medical Center on September 13, after a stroke.
