'''Shimon Peres''' (1923 - ) was the [[Prime Minister]] of [[Israel]] and is the current [[President]] of Israel, a role that is more ceremonial than its United States equivalent. He has had a long history in Israeli politics, and shared the [[Nobel Peace Prize]] for his role in the [[Oslo Accords]]. Unfortunately, that early promise for peace never materialized. A man known as a peacemaker, his opporunties may be few now that he is into his 80's.

'''Shimon Peres''' (1923–2016) was the [[Prime Minister]] of [[Israel]] and the ninth [[President]] of Israel, a role that is more ceremonial than its United States equivalent. He has had a long history in Israeli politics and shared the [[Nobel Peace Prize]] for his role in the [[Oslo Accords]] in 1994. Unfortunately, that early promise for peace never materialized.
Peres is known for praising Palestinian leader [[Mahmoud Abbas]] as “Israel’s hope for peace” and refused to condemn his new year’s speech in which Nazi collaborator [[Mohammed Amin Al-Husseini]] was lauded.<ref>https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/193748/fourteen-questions-shimon-peres-david-bedein</ref>
