Joumblatt tweeted that Avnery's passing is "a great loss for the cause of peace." He also called Avnery "a fighter for the two-state solution".

Avnery suffered a stroke in the second week of August this year, and died at Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv on Sunday night, just three weeks prior to his 95th birthday.
