President of the State of Israel, Shimon Peres: “It is time to return to the peace process. The Prime Minister repeated his commitment to the two state solution. There is no other solution if you want peace but to enable the Palestinians to have a demilitarized state of their own. The only alternative to the two state solution is a bi-national country, which means an ongoing quarrel, ongoing hatred and an ongoing conflict, which is bad for them and for us, for their children and for our children. We are building a government not only to govern but also to have the right vision.”
