WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Scott Garrett (NJ-05) issued the following statement on the passing of Israeli President Shimon Peres:

“Today we mourn the loss of a statesman and a friend of the United States with the passing of Israeli President Shimon Peres. President Peres accomplished so much during his life, including a Nobel Peace Prize and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, but he will always be remembered for his commitment to his people and his fledgling country. My thoughts and prayers are with President Peres’ family and friends, and they are also with the people of Israel as they reflect on the legacy of this influential leader.”
