Biden: "Thanks to Sharon, Israel is not a geographical risk"

U.S. Vice President Joe Biden met this evening (Monday), with President Peres at his residence and said that he believed it was time they put out two states in security side by side.

The Vice President said that, "President Obama wanted me to be here today not only to honor the hero, but as a person I think he has changed the state of Israel and defended hostile neighbors, who have a larger army, well armed. He changed the circumstances in which Israel is more at risk geographically, but stands on its own, with exceptional force. "

Biden praised the efforts of Secretary of State John Kerry to help the parties in the peace talks."I know there are difficult decisions and it is not easy," he said.

President Peres said: "We must rise to the challenge of peace in our region. This is a critical time, and I believe that the government headed by Netanyahu makes the right decisions," Peres said.

Peres urged to continue talks on all cylinders, overcome obstacles and not lose hope.
