Knesset Member Yuri Shtern (Israel Our Home) died of cancer Tuesday at the age of 58.
Shtern was first elected to Knesset in 1996 as part of the Yisrael Be'aliyah party. In 1999, he joined Avigdor Liebermans Israel Our Home party. When the party joined the coalition he served as chairman of the State Control Committee. Among his previous roles are Deputy minister in the Prime Minister's Office and a member of the Committee for Immigration, Absorption, and Diaspora Affairs.
Stern, a staunch advocate of aliya, was the founder of the Knesset's Christian Allies Caucus, a group dedicated to coalescing support for Israel among Christian groups, particularly evangelicals.
