Minister of Education Rafi Peretz took part Sunday evening in the graduation ceremony in Ashdod for the haredi-religious campuses of Ono Academic College.

Against the backdrop of the release of the economic portion of the United States peace plan for Israel and the Palestinian Authority Rabbi Peretz told the graduates, "You are deal of the century. When we succeed in putting together such large groups of men and women in all the public sectors of Israel, who take part and believe in the State of Israel and want to be partners and contributors to this state, this will be the deal of the century."
