Rev. Malcolm Hedding, executive director of the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, released a statement following Tuesday's death of Knesset Member Yuri Shtern (Israel Our Home) saying, "We are deeply saddened by the passing of our beloved friend Dr. Yuri Shtern, Member of Knesset and chairman of the Knesset Christian Allies' Caucus.

His persistence and sacrifice were truly inspiring, as was his ability to identify and address the most daunting challenges of our day."
