Sheldon Adelson, the billionaire casino magnate who made prolific donations to right-wing politicians and causes in the United States and Israel, was laid to rest in Jerusalem on Friday.
Mr Adelson, a key supporter of President Donald Trump, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and their hawkish approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, died this week at the age of 87 after a long illness.
Sheldon Adelson, Billionaire Casino Magnate, Dies At 87 - Malibu, CA - The owner of a number of Las Vegas resorts and one of the Republican party's biggest donors died Wednesday at his home in Malibu.
His wide-ranging political influence leaves a controversial legacy.
The chairman and chief executive of the Las Vegas Sands built a worldwide casino empire.
Forbes ranked him the 19th wealthiest person in the US, worth an estimated 29.8 billion US dollars.

Mr Netanyahu was at the airport late Thursday for the arrival of the coffin, which was draped with American and Israeli flags.
Mr Adelson was laid to rest at a revered, centuries-old Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives, just outside the walls of Jerusalem’s Old City, in a private service.
Mr Adelson was a driving force behind the Trump administration’s departure from decades of US policy in recognising contested Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and dropping objections to Jewish settlement activity in the occupied West Bank.
Mr Netanyahu, in one of a string of effusive eulogies by Israeli leaders, called Mr Adelson “an incredible champion of the Jewish people, the Jewish state and the alliance between Israel and America”.
The Palestinians and other critics of Israeli policies viewed Mr Adelson’s influence as an obstacle to efforts to bring about a negotiated two-state solution to the conflict, an idea that still has wide international support.
Israeli critics of Mr Netanyahu viewed Mr Adelson’s establishment of a free newspaper that strongly supports the prime minister as a multi-million-dollar campaign donation that further corrupted the country’s politics.
