TOURISM MINISTER STAS MISEZHNIKOV: “Expanding the hotel room supply and encouraging competition within the hotel industry is central to reducing the cost of vacation packages in Israel. At the Herzliya Conference on Tourism that will take place next week, there will be discussions on the current and future trends related to accommodation options for incoming tourism, from hotels to apartment rental and overnights in neighboring countries. One must acknowledge the trends in this dynamic market in order to create the necessary tools to give an answer to the changing needs of the tourist, in order to increase incoming tourism to Israel.”

"Israel faces a choice between Gaza and the West Bank, between Hamas and President Abbas"

"I call upon all the Israeli parties, make up your minds about the future, stop arguing about the past"

The President of the State of Israel, President Shimon Peres, opened the Globes Israel Business Conference in a special on stage interview with senior CNN presenter Richard Quest. President Peres addressed the major issues of the day including the peace process with the Palestinians, the building in E1 and Hamas in Gaza.

 President Peres addressed Khaled Mashaal's visit to Gaza and said, "He unmasked the real nature of Hamas; a terrorist organization committed to killing and to conquering and opposed to compromise. There is no doubt that his intention is war and murder while the people of Gaza need economic prosperity.  Israel faces a choice between Gaza and the West Bank, between Hamas and President Abbas. The alternative to Hamas is Abbas, he is a serious man who has declared himself in favor of peace and compromise, of a demilitarized Palestinian state and against terror. He declared that there wouldn't be a Palestinian state in his hometown of Safed. He is for the two-state solution. We have two clear choices, nobody is perfect but one is right and the other is wrong. We have two choose between Mashaal and Abbas."
