Peres: Gadhafi’s Rein Is Nearing an End
President Shimon Peres said Monday he believed Libyan leader Muammer Gadhafi’s reign was nearing an end.
It was an “irony of history” that Gadhafi had recently expressed his desire for “a Middle East without Israel,” but that it now looked like “there will be a Libya without Gaddafi,” Peres said at the start of a four-day visit to Spain.
The president made the comments at the headquarters of the Jewish community in Madrid.
