Peres: "No Need for Flotillas if Gaza Turns to Peace"


(Ynet News) Ronen Medzini - President Shimon Peres said Sunday: "If Gaza would turn to peace, she would have peace and there would be no need for flotillas....We withdrew from Gaza entirely and no Israeli was left in the Gaza Strip.... We did not understand then, nor do we understand now, why after evacuating Gaza, the rulers of Gaza started to fire thousands of missiles against civilian life in Israel. For what reason? For what purpose?" "If Gaza leaders would denounce terror, stop the building of tunnels and shooting missiles, stop attempting to kidnap Israeli soldiers and release Gilad Shalit who was abducted on Israeli territory, there would be no need for any sort of closure or blockade."
