Defense Minister Ehud Barak said during his speech at the 14th annual memorial ceremony for the assassination of former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin that "peace is made from a position of security and self-assuredness, and Israel is currently strong, deterring, and able to make peace".
Barak added, "The path is not an easy one, and we will suffer obstacles and victims, but it is because of this that we must persist." He also called on Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Syrian President Bashar Assad to "come to the negotiating table". (Attila Somfalvi)
