On our second-to-last night of the International Experience, we met with Israeli President and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Shimon Peres at his house in Jerusalem, along with students from Harvard's Kennedy School and NYU Stern School of Business. Prompted by a question from Yale's own C.J. Lemky, President Peres spoke to the group about the role of business in the peace process.
Also discussed was the suitability of sanctions on Iran in response to their nuclear program. In contrast to the message the American Congress and media had just received from Prime Minister Netanyahu, President Peres stressed the importance of exhausting all diplomatic possibilities before turning to military options.
