Peres Meets 40 US Republican Congressmen

(IsraelNN.com) Israeli President Shimon Peres met with 40 U.S. Republican Congressmen on Wednesday. He warned that Iran had to be stopped from acquiring nuclear weapons.

“If we miss this chance for peace,” Peres said, “the Middle East will become an uncontrollable nuclear area and there will be no turning back.”

Congressman Eric Cantor, who headed the U.S. delegation, said, “We have come to say that the American Congress stands strong next to Israel and our main purpose is to strengthen the relations between our two countries.”
