Defense Minister Shimon Peres claimed last night that Libya has become the military warehouse of the Arab world with huge stockpiles of modern weapons that threaten the stability of the Middle East. He also said that Jordan could be a partner with Israel in determining the future of the West Bank, provided that Israel controlled all areas that posed a potential danger to its existence. Peres, addressing the national convention of B’nai B’rith here, said that Libya was not only amassing weapons but its regime was the most reactionary and murderous ever seen in the region.
