Israel's ambassador to the United Nations on Wednesday declared in an address before the Security Council that "the state of Israel is committed to the Middle East peace process."
Professor Gabriela Shalev spoke at a meeting on the Middle East and Palestinian issues, addressing the imminent change in leadership in Israel, as Prime Minister Ehud Olmert completes his term and yields his seat to incoming prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
When the administration changes, she assured the council, the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians will continue to move forward.
