Shimon Peres, the last Israeli politician who was present at the birth of the nation in 1948, has died, aged 93. He held the office of prime minister twice, was foreign minister during the Oslo peace accord agreements of the mid-nineties and, more recently, served as the president of Israel. Dennis Ross, a senior US diplomat who knew Peres for thirty years, remembers him.
