I believe that peace with the Palestinians is most urgent – urgent than ever before. It is necessary. It is crucial. It is possible. A delay may worsen its chances. Israel and the Palestinians are, in my judgment, ripe today to restart the peace process. – Shimon Peres
I think peace should be done not only among governments but among people. It was impossible before the Facebook. – Shimon Peres
I worked with a group of people who argued day and night – professors, officials, the Minister of Finance – but there were decisions that I had to make. – Shimon Peres
Israel welcomes the wind of change, and sees a window of opportunity. Democratic and science-based economies by nature desire peace. Israel does not want to be an island of affluence in an ocean of poverty. Improvements in our neighbours lives mean improvements to the neighbourhood in which we live. – Shimon Peres
