Peres lauds Obama for “responding” to Israel’s need, being a small country, to “maintain our qualitative edge.”

He says “the strength of the Israel Defense Forces affords us the ability to seek peace,” adding that “what America has contributed to Israel’s security is the best guarantee to end the march of folly, of terror and bloodshed.”

Peres praises the way Obama and his administration “stay true, time and again, to your bonds of friendship with us.”

He adds that Obama’s “commitment and deeds speak volumes about the principles that guide America to strive for freedom and democracy at home, and all over the world.”
