Israel's Peres warns against feud with US over Iran
None
President Shimon Peres urged Israelis on Friday to show respect for the United States, seeking to soothe relations with the country's most powerful ally that have been strained over Iran. "We must not underestimate the importance of this friendship," Peres said.
"If we have disagreements we should voice them, but we should remember that the Americans also know a thing or two," he said. Although Peres's position as president is largely ceremonial, he is a widely-respected elder statesmen and his comments will be welcomed by Washington. (Reuters)
