“We have to make peace now and as difficult as it may sound, I believe it’s possible,” Peres said, speaking to a packed IOP forum.
In his speech entitled, “Challenges of Democracy in the Twenty-First Century: An Israeli Perspective,” Peres, who recently served as foreign minister under current Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, discussed the evolving causes of conflict and terrorism from the 20th to 21st centuries.
Peres explained that we have “a war of terror, basically suicide bombers who can cause a great deal of death and destruction and danger. We are lucky to have the United States taking the lead to bring an end to this war.”
Peres then described an evolving and increasingly more globalized world, one driven by modernity and not by land.
“You cannot go back to the age of the stone and the age of land. Either you go and move with the new development and new cause and potentials,” Peres said.
