OBAMA FIRST U.S. PRESIDENT TO RECEIVE ISRAEL’S HIGHEST CIVILIAN HONOR.
Israeli President Shimon Peres gave President Obama Israel’s highest civilian award, the Medal of Distinction, during a ceremonial dinner held in Mr. Obama’s honor Thursday evening at the Israeli president’s residence. The medal recognizes Mr. Obama’s commitment to maintaining Israel’s security, and it is the first time in which an Israeli president has bestowed such an honor on a sitting president. Mr. Obama gave Mr. Peres, a lifetime Israeli politician who twice served as prime minister of the country, the U.S. President’s Medal of Freedom last year. He will turn 90 in August. “It is my privilege to present you with our country’s highest honor,†Mr. Peres said. “This award speaks to your tireless work to make Israel strong. Your president has given the close ties between Israel and the United States a new height.†“The people of Israel are particularly moved by your unforgettable contribution to their security,†he continued. “One occasion, when we were alone, you stood with us so we were not alone … we will never forget it.†Read more: http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/insi...z2rltn7bqS Follow us: @washtimes on Twitter |
