PERES' RESUME. Arutz Sheva describes Olmert's negotiating away the Temple Mount while Peres drafts a plan to evacuate and transfer almost all of the West Bank and some Arab-Israeli cities inside pre-1967 Israel to the PA.

It concludes with a summary of the Peres legacy for which he will be best known:

President Peres, Israel's most veteran politician, has a long history of covert deal-making. His arch-rival in the Labor party, former Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin, famously called Peres "an indefatigable subversive" in his autobiography. Peres received the Nobel Prize for a deal he and others worked out with arch-terrorist Yasser Arafat in 1993 – the Oslo Accords – which led to the establishment of the Palestinian Authority and an ongoing terror war in which thousands of Israelis, including a high proportion of women and children, have been killed or maimed.
Sums it all up, doesn't it?
