The former Israeli Prime Minister, Yitzhak Shamir, has died at the age of 96, officials say.
In a statement announcing the death, current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu paid tribute to his "loyalty to Israel".
As leader of the right-wing Likud party, Mr Shamir was prime minister between 1983-1984, and in 1986-1992.
In office, he gained a reputation as a hard-liner in peace negotiations with the Palestinians.
