(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Israel's former president and Nobel peace laureate Shimon Peres yesterday took a swipe at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government for failing to make peace with the Arabs. "Those who have renounced making peace are... not patriots," Peres said at a ceremony in Tel Aviv marking the 19th anniversary of the assassination of premier Yitzhak Rabin, who had signed peace agreements with the Palestinians.
"It's a shame that the only peace initiative was an Arab initiative. Where is the Israeli peace initiative?" Peres asked, warning that "time is against us". He was referring to the Arab Peace Initiative made in 2002 by Saudi Arabia.
