Peres can pick future post
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Shimon Peres was offered his pick of posts in a future Israeli government under Ariel Sharon.
Sharon said Sunday that if he’s re-elected prime minister in March 28 elections, Peres could choose the role he wants to play in politics and diplomacy.
“I asked Shimon Peres to pick any job he wants. Shimon can fill any post, I believe, with great success,” Sharon said at a joint press conference with Peres, who quit the Labor Party last week to endorse Sharon’s new centrist movement Kadima. “Regardless of the job Shimon picks, it is crystal clear that he will be a full and central partner in the diplomatic process.”
Peres said he had left Labor, his political home for decades, because of the need to help Sharon push for peace with the Palestinians. “I would not have been able to forgive myself if, because of partisan considerations or inconvenience, I had not lent a hand to the move Arik Sharon is leading,” he said.
