Breitbart "JERUSALEM, Israel — Dr. Yechiel Leiter offered a heartfelt plea to U.S. President Joe Biden at his son Moshe’s funeral in the Mount Herzl military cemetery on Sunday: don’t pressure Israel to stop the war against Hamas.
"Maj. (res.) Moshe Yedidyah Leiter was one of four members of the Israel Defense Force (IDF) 551st Brigade’s 697th Battalion who were killed in Gaza by a booby-trapped tunnel on Friday. Thousands of mourners came to his funeral, which lasted several hours.
"His father, a former chief of staff to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is well known throughout the Jewish world, especially in the U.S., where he was born.
"Much of his eulogy was in Hebrew, but he addressed Biden in English:"
"Leiter added that his son had told him, before going to war: “I am carrying on my shoulders my grandfathers and grandmothers… who could not fight back.” He stressed that Jews should be inspired not just by the terrible suffering of October 7, but by the heroism that has followed, even if dozens of Israeli soldiers have already lost their lives in the fight to destroy Hamas." . .
