Zionist Peres: The US-sponsored peace talks are mainly in Israel’s favor

images_News_2014_02_22_Peres-0_300_0Israeli president Shimon Peres said that the US-sponsored peace talks, which are intended to clinch a settlement deal with the Palestinian side, are mainly in the interest of Tel Aviv that seeks Palestinian recognition of a Jewish state.

Peres made his remarks on Friday in occupied Jerusalem during his meeting with heads of Zio-American organizations.

He stated that the establishment of a Palestinian state are in Israel’s favor because the aim of the negotiations with the Palestinians is to keep it as a Jewish state.

The president also hailed the US sponsor for its efforts to make a peace deal that protects Israel’s interests.

US ambassador to Israel Daniel Shapiro had also stated recently that the US-drafted framework agreement which secretary of state John Kerry intends to put forward soon on the negotiating table includes Palestinian recognition of Israel as a Jewish state.
