Shimon Peres: an optimist with a commitment to peace (Mark Schulman, WEF)

Shimon Peres – Nobel Peace Prize laureate and public servant extraordinaire – held just about every possible government position in Israel. Since his first appointment as Director-General of the Ministry of Defense in 1959 at the age of 29, Peres held a number of key posts, including Minister of Defense, Finance and Foreign Affairs, and Prime Minister (twice) and ending with the presidency at the age of 91. He also served in the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, for almost 50 years.
