Israel Will Support Europe in the Fight Against Terrorism
(Ynet News) Shimon Peres interviewed by Itamar Eichner - Last month, former Israeli president Shimon Peres, 92, received international recognition from UNESCO for his work in advancing peace, dialogue and science across the world. In an interview shortly after the ceremony, he said, "Europe must unite and dedicate all of its resources to putting an end to the barbaric phenomena of murder and beheading....Israel would support Europe and offer its experience and technological capabilities in the fight against terrorism, whenever called to." Asked about the UN Human Rights Council's decision to prepare a blacklist of businesses operating in the settlements, Peres said, "I condemn and vehemently oppose it. This kind of move harms the State of Israel and gives encouragement to supporters all over the world of the boycott against us."
