Former Secretary of State George P. Shultz, a titan of American academia, business and diplomacy who spent most of the 1980s trying to improve Cold War relations with the Soviet Union and forging a course for peace in the Middle East, has died. He was 100. Shultz died Saturday at his home on the campus of Stanford University, where he was a distinguished fellow at the Hoover Institution, a think tank, and professor emeritus at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business. The Hoover Institution announced Shultz’s death on Sunday. A cause of death was not provided. Today, we mourn the loss of former Secretary of State George P. Shultz and reflect on his legendary legacy. In 2016, Israeli PM Netanyahu awarded Shultz with an award of appreciation for his service to Israel & his tireless efforts to strengthen the U.S.-Israel alliance.
