Aside from his publications, Yehoshua was a leading figure in the Israeli peace camp, joining authors Amoz Oz and David Grossman in calling for a negotiated solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict that would culminate in the creation of an independent Palestinian state.
According to Israeli President Isaac Herzog, Yehoshua was “one of the great writers and storytellers of the state of Israel,” whose “unforgettable works will continue to accompany us for decades.”
