Speaking to a packed Alumni Hall yesterday afternoon, Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres declared his commitment to achieving a peaceful and secure Israel as well as a Palestinian state that will not be dominated by Israelis.
Peres, however, stopped short of saying that such a Palestinian state would be autonomous.
Peres, who answered questions instead of delivering a prepared speech, mixed one-liners with serious answers about the possibilities for a Palestinian state.
Throughout, Peres emphasized that his priorities were peace and security. He also said Palestinians should not be dominated by Israel.
"The Jewish history is 4,000 years old," Peres said. "Never our history did we dominate another country."
