Peres to Europe Council: Cancel ban on male circumcision
None
President Shimon Peres issued a special letter to the secretary-general of the Council of Europe, in which he demands that he uses his powers to reverse the decision to ban male circumcisions in Europe.
President Peres' letter read: "You have dedicated a large part of your career to defending the civil liberties of citizens across the world... I know how much you value the principles of freedom of religion and trust that you will exert your considerable influence in the Council of Europe for the sake of these fundamental rights." (Noam Dvir)
