“A prior condition for peace in the Middle East is the evacuation of all foreign armies from this area,” according to Minister of Immigrant Absorption Shimon Peres. Addressing a foreign students convention at Nahariya Friday, Mr. Peres demanded that “the Russians get out of Egypt, the Iraqis out of Jordan and the Syrians out of Lebanon.” He said when that happens, “each side can appoint representatives who can then sit down at some agreed place and start talking peace.”
