Michael Oren, Israel's ambassador-designate to the U.S., addressed the Aspen Ideas Festival in Aspen, Colorado on Thursday and called on the Arab world to make some positive gestures in the Middle East peace process. He said he would like to see "some gestures from the Arab world to show that, OK, we've been at war for 61 years, enough is enough,”according to a report in the Aspen Daily News.
"How about showing us some gestures that you recognize the State of Israel is a permanent reality in the Middle East and isn't going away?” he said. "I'd like to be able to take my next vacation in Riyadh."
