President Peres: Grief-Stricken or With Ambition?


After the death of Israeli President Shimon Peres’ wife, the suitability of Peres’ role as President of the state of Israel has been called into question as a result of his remarks in his distraught state.

President Shimon Peres
Yoav Shakir from the Israeli Office of Internal Affairs says, “[Peres,] in grief-stricken stupor over the death of his wife, has demanded an immediate vote from the Palestinian electorate in which Hamas must lose. Many of the more peace-loving members of the Israeli administration have questioned Peres’ ability to lead.”

On the other hand, Abigail Cohen, a member of the Israeli Parliament assures that his comments were not rash, and that they were stated after logical thought processes and careful deliberations with other Parliament members. “To help establish a safe country, we must move the Arabs from the region because they are the ones causing conflict,” says Cohen. “We must punish the Hamas by building more settlements in the Gaza strip.”

With conflicting opinions within the Israeli Parliament, potential internal dissension lies ahead.
