“I am the only living person in Israel who participated in peace efforts with all of our neighbors. The quality of peace may not be what we would want it to be, but it exists,” he said. Frisch students had a chance to ask questions about the U.S. Embassy’s move to Jerusalem and gender roles in Israel, among other topics.
