Peres: Existential threats to world first directed at Jews
None
President Shimon Peres said during a reception for the diplomatic teams stationed in Israel, "History has proven that whenever an existential threat to the world arises, it is first directed at the Jewish people."
"The international community must be aware of this. The threat Iran poses to world peace must not be ignored," Peres added at the event attended by some 800 ambassadors, consuls, military attaches, peacekeepers, religious representatives, and their partners. (Ronen Medzini and Roni Sofer)
