Shimon Peres was offered his pick of posts in a future Israeli government under Ariel Sharon. Sharon said Sunday that if he’s re-elected prime minister in March 28 elections, Peres could choose the role he wants to play in politics and diplomacy. “I asked Shimon Peres to pick any job he wants. Shimon can fill any post, I believe, with great success,” Sharon said at a joint press conference with Peres, who quit the Labor Party last week to endorse Sharon’s new centrist movement Kadima.
