LEADER ARAFAT & ISREALI FM PERES REACH AGREEMENT ON PALESTINIAN …
Shimon Peres was born August 2, 1923 in Weinlawa, Poland, (now Vishniev, Belarus). His family was committed to Zionism and as anti-Semitic violence escalated in central Europe in the 1930s, they migrated to then British-controlled Palestine when Shimon was 11. His family members who remained in Europe were murdered by the Nazis.
Shimon Peres grew up in Tel Aviv and joined a socialist youth group, the Hanoar Haoved or Working Youth. At age 15, he attended Ben Shermen Agricultural School and later joined an armed underground movement, Haganah, to counter Arab sniper attacks. The Zionist military organization was under the direction of David Ben-Gurion, who became Peres’ political mentor. In 1945, Peres married Sonia Gellman whom he met at Ben Shermen. The couple would go on to have three children.
After World War II, the nation of Israel fought for independence from Great Britain. The British ceded the territory over to the United Nations, which partitioned the area into an Arab and Jewish state in 1947. The following year, Ben-Gurion proclaimed the state of Israel and seven Arab states immediately declared war on the new republic. Shimon Peres was assigned several posts including military intelligence, arms procurement and even the fledgling Israeli Navy.
From 1952 to 1965, Shimon Peres moved up the political ladder. While serving as Defense Minister in 1956, he masterminded the Sinai Campaign during the Suez Crisis. It was during this time that Peres and Ben-Gurion secretly began development on Israeli’s nuclear program. In 1965, Peres left the Mapai Labor Party and in 1968, with Ben-Gurion, formed the Israel Labor Party. From 1969 until 1977, Peres served as minister of immigration, helping develop settlements in the occupied territories. From 1977-1981, he served as head of the Labor Party and was twice defeated for prime minister by Menachem Begin, of the opposition Likud Party. In 1984, Peres formed a power sharing arrangement with Likud’s head, Yitzhak Shamir, serving as prime minister for two years. He also served as Minister of Finance, focusing on Israel’s failing economy and helped reduce the annual inflation rate from 400% to 16%.
The Quest for Peace
In 1986, Shimon Peres served as Foreign Minister. During this time, he had started secret talks with Jordan’s King Hussein, hoping an agreement to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. But Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir rejected the agreement, a bitter disappointment for Peres. In 1992, the Labor Party returned to power with Yitzhak Rabin as Prime Minister. Peres was Foreign Minister and over the next two years, he achieved his two greatest diplomatic successes, the Oslo Agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Organization and a peace treaty with Jordan. For his work on the Oslo Agreement, Peres shared the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize with Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat, head of the PLO.
In 1995, Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated and Shimon Peres took over as Prime Minister. During this time he pushed the peace process further, despite numerous terrorist attacks by Palestinian militants against Israeli civilians. He lost a reelection bid in 1996 and the following year, resigned from the Labor Party to form the Peres Center for Peace. At the turn of the millennium, Peres once again served as Minister of Foreign Affairs in a National Unity government and as chair of the Labor Party in 2003. He lost the chairmanship in 2005 and shocked everyone by supporting his old political rival, Ariel Sharon, now head of the Kadima Party. Peres believed the new party was the best chance for lasting peace with the Palestinians.
In June 2007, Shimon Peres was elected President of Israel, at age 84, receiving the ultimate recognition for his lifelong service. He resigned his seat in the Knesset, ending the longest parliamentary career in his country’s history. In June 2012, Peres was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama for his "meritorious contributions to world peace." Peres completed his term as president in July 2014.
On September 13, 2016, Shimon Peres suffered a serious stroke and was put into a medically induced coma. He died on September 28, 2016 at the age of 93.
This is the full Biography of R.I.P. Shimon Peres
I did this research over the Internet to illustrate the reason I wondered when I mentioned “Peace Nobel Prize” and Like Honorable Ossama Kamal of AlKahera 360 who said “World Wide Hypocrisy”; However I wish to say “I have no reason to hate or love Jews, or any other religion believers they are all human beings”, moreover I can not judge Shimon Peres he is now in the hands of the only judge GOD!
Having said what I said I point to a very old Egyptian Tradition the ever lasting say “This is an Israeli American conspiracy” fine but where in that lies the Creator of BOTH America and Israel? Great Britain?….. I rest my case see you all in Part VIII very important issue that ensures Egypt is a holy land!
May God keep blessing Egypt and Egyptians and his peace be upon you all!
