Shimon Peres met with Jordan’s King Abdullah II. The two met Wednesday in Jordan at the Petra Conference of Nobel Laureates, whose guests included 25 prizewinners, former U.S. President Bill Clinton and actor Richard Gere. Jordan and the Elie Wiesel Foundation sponsored the gathering. Peres, Israel’s vice premier, and the king discussed how Israelis and Palestinians could enjoy the benefits of coexistence. Together with Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat, Peres won a Nobel Prize in 1994 for peace-making efforts that led to the Oslo accords.
