Dear Rita,

Sarah and I were so sad to hear of the tragic death of Motta on Sunday. We send our deepest condolences to you, your sons and your daughters.

To say that Motta was a great man seems to be an understatement. Most men only gain fame in one profession. Motta did it in three - as a soldier, author and politician. His loss will be felt not only by you but by the People of the State of Israel as a whole and by his many friends and admirers around the world.

I well remember the admiration with which the whole world viewed the Israel Defence Forces when operation Hercules was reported, the sheer audacity of the plan took our breath away.

On a more personal level. I shall always be greatful for his friendliness and help during my assignment here. Sarah and I well remember Motta’s kindness during Malcolm Rifkind’s visit to Israel last November, it is even more memorable now that we realise that he was not a well man. His name was synonymous with courage before the world knew of his latest illness and will continue to be so after his death.

Our thoughts and prayer are with you at this time .With sympathy

RA Burns

HM Ambassador
