Shimon Peres
What should be the future of Israel? Is the land the most important choice, and for that reason to keep the whole of the land at any cost, or to have a partition and build the Jewish state on part of the land? And the other part?
Shimon Peres
I was learning, as I did in the Ministry of Defense. I never knew, but I always learned.
