Outgoing US President George Bush telephoned President Shimon Peres bidding him farewell on the occasion of the end of Bush’s term as president Tuesday.
Peres said to Bush, “If the world had acted against Hitler the way you acted against Saddam Hussein, the lives of millions would have been saved.” The president added, “You made a historic contribution to the entire world and to the Jewish people in particular. We will treasure this forever and will never forget it.”
