I am very grateful that I have had the opportunity to meet with President Shimon Peres several times. Especially the first time, which was a 1:1 in his presidential residence, was an unforgettable experience. After I explained in 5 minutes the power of cloud for unlocking digital business building for everyone, he went on a lecture of half an hour how bringing economic prosperity to the region was crucial to achieving a long lasting peace. “A hungry neighbor is an angry neighbor”.

He strongly believed peace in the Middle East was attainable, and I have no reason to doubt him. If it will happen one day it will be because of believers like him.

RIP Mr. President.
