Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres will visit Harvard next Thursday, officials at Hillel said yesterday.
Peres, an instrumental figure in last September's Israel-PLO accord and a negotiator in the talks about Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and Jericho, will speak on "An Arab-Israeli Peace: A Promise for the Future."
Peres will speak at 12:15 p.m. in Memorial Hall's Alumni Hall at instead of Sanders Theatre because a class already has reserved the Sanders space, said Harvard-Radcliffe Hillel Coordinating Council Chair Elie G. Kaunfer '95.
Peres' appearance was delayed by the peace process, said Deborah K. Steinberger '95, the associate chair of Hillel.
