Rabbi Sacks On Shimon Peres And The Middle East

Yesterday afternoon, Rabbi Sacks participated in a House of Lords debate on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The primary focus of his comments was around the legacy of Shimon Peres שמעון פרס but given the UNESCO vote had just taken place questioning the Jewish status of the Temple Mount, Rabbi Sacks also reacted to this calling it an "outrage [that] will achieve nothing but further damage trust and set back the prospects for peace."
