Peres: Instead of ME without Israel – a Libya witout Gaddafi

President Shimon Peres addressed the riots in Libya during his visit to Spain, noting that he heard "Gaddafi's speech two weeks ago, in which he said he prefers a Middle East without the State of Israel. Today we might reach a situation where there is a Libya, but without Gaddafi."

Peres added that "Israel is hoping to obtain peace with all its neighbors; first and foremost with our Palestinian neighbors." (Ynet)
