In Israel a state funeral is being planned Tuesday for former president Ezer Weizman who died Sunday at the age of 80. In 1979, as defense minister, he helped secure a treaty with Egypt, the first between Israel and an Arab country. A decade earlier he headed the Israeli air force during the 1967 war. He served as Israel’s seventh president from 1993 to 2000.
