The problem of the Middle East is poverty more than politics. – 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
I think peace should be done not only among governments but among people. It was impossible before the Facebook. – Shimon Peres
