DTN News - DEFENSE NEWS: Israel's President Shimon Peres Sends Message Of Peace To Iranians

DTN News - DEFENSE NEWS: Israel's President Shimon Peres Sends Message Of Peace To Iranians
Source: DTN News - - This article compiled by Roger Smith from reliable sources AFP
 (NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - February 8, 2012: President Shimon Peres sent a message of peace to Iranians from the podium of Israel's parliament on Wednesday, saying there was no need for the two peoples to be foes.
"We were not born enemies and there is no need for us to live as enemies," Peres said in a speech marking the 63rd anniversary of the Knesset's founding.
"Do not allow the flags of hostility to cast a dark shadow on your historic heritage," he said. "Your people are a sensitive people who aspire for friendship and peace, and not for conflict and wars."
In a televised address on Friday, Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei described Israel as "a cancerous tumour that must be cut out, and God willing it will be."
"From now on we will support any group that will fight the Zionist regime," said the all-powerful Iranian leader.
Speculation has risen in recent weeks, driven in part by comments made by officials in the Jewish state, about the possibility of an Israeli military strike on Iran.
Israel and much of the international community believe that Iran's nuclear programme masks a covert weapons drive, a charge Tehran denies.
Widely believed to be the Middle East's only albeit undeclared nuclear power, Israel has supported tough sanctions against Iran but also insists on retaining the military option to halt its nuclear activities.
Before the 1979 Islamic revolution which brought the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini to power, Israel and the shah's Iran had warm relations.

DTN News - ISRAEL DEFENSE NEWS: US Welcomes Israel Call For Return To Peace Talks

DTN News - ISRAEL DEFENSE NEWS: US Welcomes Israel Call For Return To Peace Talks
(NSI News Source Info) KOTTAKKAL, Kerala, India - October 2, 2011: The United States on Sunday welcomed Israel's apparent acceptance of a plan by the so-called Middle East Quartet to return to talks with the Palestinians, saying it was the best chance for peace.
Israel called Sunday for an immediate return to peace talks under the framework of a proposal by the Quartet -- the United States, the European Union, the United Nations and Russia.
But the Jewish state said the plan included no preconditions -- an interpretation the Palestinians quickly rejected.
"We welcome the Israeli government's announcement today expressing readiness to resume negotiations with the Palestinians, as called for by the Quartet," US State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said in a statement.
"The Palestinians expressed support for the Quartet approach on September 29," she added.
"The US once again calls on both parties to resume negotiations without preconditions, on the timetable proposed by the Quartet, as the best means to advance their interests, resolve their differences, and fulfill the president's two-state vision."
The Palestinians said earlier that Israel could not say it had accepted the Quartet statement without announcing a halt to Israeli settlement construction and a willingness to use the lines that existed before the 1967 Six Day War as a basis for negotiations on future borders.
