JERUSALEM (JTA) — Former Israeli President Shimon Peres will consult for Teva Pharmaceutical Industries for $10,000 a month.

He will also receive additional compensation for specific Teva projects, according to the Israeli business daily Globes.

The announcement comes days after Peres, 91, announced that he would cancel a deal to promote Bank Hapoalim worth $30,000 a month.

The money that Teva pays to Peres will be donated to the Peres Center for Peace, as well as other charitable causes in which he is involved, according to reports.
