Jerusalem – Israeli President Shimon Peres says his country has missed opportunities to forge a historic peace agreement with the Palestinians.

Peres told Haaretz daily Monday that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is “a worthy partner (who) can deliver the goods.”
He blamed the deadlock on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying he does not believe in negotiations.
Talks collapsed more than three years ago.
Netanyahu says he is ready to resume talks without preconditions. The Palestinians say they won’t negotiate while Israel continues building in areas they claim for a future state. Israel says that should be resolved through talks.
Peres said there is still a chance to strike a deal in the next few years.
It is not Abbas who controls Hamas. Any agreement without Hamas’ leadership on board is totally meaningless. What planet are on Herr Peres?
Cheap shot from an old man who should retire already!
YES this what a leader should be..like peres.
embarrass the COUNTRY
embarrass its prime minister
empower the avowed openly declared enemy of peace with Israel
give credibility to a historically fake people and culture
BUT HE WILL ACHIEVE HIS GOAL
HE WILL BE GIVEN A PEACE PRIZE FOR CONDEMNING ISRAEL.
AND THATS ‘PEACE’ according to the world.
Another sign of Mashiach,’ when we have NO leaders’
this backstabing traitorous, arab loving jew hating leftist criminal,should be put on trial for high treason,this piece of human garbage should be president of the PLO instead of Israel
peres i8s delusional they want to see all jews and israel destroyd
Peres is still hurting because he was never elected as Prime Minister (just fell into the job when Rabin was killed and couldn’t get elected subsequently). He can’t get used to the fact that the president of the state is supposed to be apolitical–ie, stay out of politics (much in the same way as Queen Elisabeth in England)
And he’s an old Mapainik which always was agains Herut/Likud.
In addition, there’s no shoite like an old shoite.
Right peres, and rockets won’t fly from gaZa if we give it away
What a jerk. Self hating Jews are more harmful to Israel than all it’s enemies!
Peres and Co. Are left wing anti-religion looks. They tried many times while THEY had the majority to “make peace” and failed. In fact every time they tried things got worse. Someone should tell Peres that he should put a sock in his mouth.
Peres thinks that he was elected to head the knesset and make policy. He baldly undermines the legally elected Prime Minister and the country. He should ally himself with the Neturei Karta freaks who also endanger Jewish lives and security. Abba is a worthy partner!? Helloooo – Peres please get out of the presidential mansion – one a no’ef, now a boged – ridiculous
It’s unheard of and shameful for a sitting president to publicly attack a sitting prime minister especially when all he brought to the table were the terrible terrible ‘Oslo Accords’.
peres is not dum.. he know very well that its not just abbas … its like you want to make a deal with a company who has 4 partners all 4 have a say in the matter .
so how can even deal ? RABBI SCHNERSON IS RIGHT ” DONT TALK WITH THEM PERIOD “
In what sense did we miss an opportunity- the Palestinians are requiring us to stop building before they talk – if we did that how are we supposed to handle the massive housing problem while the talk are continuing?
Lets have a standing ovation for Bibi APPLAUSE!!!!!!!!
Peres should be removed from the presidency to join Katsav in prison. Charge: TREASON.
There is no fool like an old fool.
Being President of Israel is like being the Queen of England. Its a ceremonial position with no power that is usually occupied by an elder statesman (stateswoman?) who is long out of touch with the facts on the ground.
If they gave me a piece prize I won’t accepted it since it is worthless; if you gave peres, rabin, arafat and obama such a prize you know it is worthless
Probably the first time ever all the commenters to a single article agree on something. Remarkable!
Peres has gone way past his expiration date. There is a warm welcome awaiting him. The ovens of gehenim are heated up and the “welcome” mat is spread out to greet him.
Hmm so I guess, he and Rabin did NOT miss The opportunity for a true and lasting peace…again Peres and his peresites!
