Shimon Peres (Estate)

Shimon Peres was one of Israels founding fathers and for more than six decades was an architect of its ascent from a fragile state to a global power.

In 1994, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his extraordinary efforts to forge peace between Israel and the Palestinians.

In 1996, he founded the groundbreaking Peres Center for Peace and Innovation to focus on developing and implementing imaginative peacebuilding programs around the world.

Peres died in September 2016, shortly after finishing work on his book. He was ninety-three years old.
