The history of the State of Israel is the history of Shimon Peres.

　　After Perez’s death, the Israeli media commented that Perez finally did something that his close comrades had been urging him to do, but he never did-rest! Even at the age of 93, Perez insisted on getting up at 3: 30 in the morning to read and exercise, and his daily schedule was full until late at night. The commentary published by the Jerusalem Post in Israel gave a very high evaluation to Perez: Perez has the longest service time among Israeli civil servants, and his life can be summarized as "Perez did not witness history, but wrote history, and the history of Israel is the history of Shimon Perez".
