Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleItaly’s foreign minister, recalling Shimon Peres as a “tireless supporter” of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, is hailing the late Israeli leader as a “symbol of peace.”
Paolo Gentiloni says Peres “is the history of Israel, from a young immigrant to an elderly president, a Nobel prize winner, a symbol of peace of this country.”
Italian Premier Matteo Renzi notes he had met Peres earlier this month at the annual political and economic gathering in Cernobbio, northern Italy. He says “we all recall him with affection and gratitude.”
