President Peres with visiting Members of Congress:
"We believe the Palestinians would be making an error seeking UN recognition now before negotiations."
President Shimon Peres conducted a working meeting this morning (Wednesday, 10 August 2011) with 26 Democratic Members of Congress that are visiting Israel in a delegation headed by the Democratic Whip, Rep. Steny Hoyer. The visit was organized by American Israel Education Foundation, and is the first of a number of Congressional delegations that will visit Israel in the next few weeks in an effort to strengthen relations between the United States and Israel.
