Peres calls for creation of Palestinian state
TEL AVIV. Oct 22: Former Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres called Tuesday for the establishment of a Palestinian state in a speech closing the two-day inaugural session ol a new peace Institute that bears his name, reports AP.
"In a very strange and paradoxical way. in order for Israel to remain a Jewish state we need a non-Jewish state in part of Israel." Peres told Israeli. Arab and world dignitaries gathered to launch the Peres Centre For Peace. Tt is not that we are doing a favour to anybody. We need it for our ourselves."
With 4.7 million Jews and some 4 million Arabs living in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, the alternative was a bina-tional state, which neither Israelis nor Palestinians desire, he said.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who edged out Peres in last year's election, still opposes the creation of a Palestinian state — a key issue fuelling discord between Israel and the Palestinians.
The Peres Centre For Peace had licen ridicukti as a sinecure for the 74-year-old Peres, who reluctantly stepperl down as La bor Party leader several months ago and was replaced in a primary election by former military chief Ehud Barak.
But the stream of more than 100 world dignitaries who arrived at the official opening Monday was an impressive show of support for his ideas. Many stayed on for seminars on peace Tuesday.
The centre issued a statement saying that dozens of regional cooperation projects have already lx-en ilccided upon md have unspecified financing, it mentioned a project to turn 25.000 Israeli and Palestinian children into pen pals and the creation of a new Industrial park on the edge of the autonomous Gaza Strip which will provide up to 50.000 Jobs for Palestinians.
Earlier Wednesday, at a session on the lessons of peacein.iking. there was marked difficulty in avoiding politics atid
maintaining the intended academic tone.
Palestinians speakers repeatedly attacked the Netanyahu government and expressed longing for the softer style of Labor — especially for former chief negotiator Uri Savir. who now runs the Peres Centre.
US Envoy Dennis Ross — taking a break from Ills current peace shuttle — said what was needed was for negotiators on both sides to have empathy for each other.
At the opening session Monday. former US Secretary of Slate Warren Christopher noted that "Relations between Israelis and Palestinians have eroded alarmingly over the past year
Egyptian Foreign Minister Amr Moussa put the blame squarely on Israel, saying that at no time since the late Egyptian President Anwar Sadat launched the peace process by visiting Israel in 1977 "has the process witnessed such a loss of credibility " and 'the ball is in the Israeli government's court.'
