Prince Charles has made a donation to the Peres Centre for Peace – the first to an Israeli non-profit by a member of the Royal Family.
The Prince of Wales – who attended Mr Peres’ funeral in 2016 – gave an undisclosed sum to the organisation, established by Israeli statesman Shimon Peres to promote peaceful relations between Israel and its neighbours.
At the time, His Royal Highness said: “I have always had the greatest admiration for the constancy and determination of President Peres' work for peace over so many years. I pray that his legacy will inspire future generations to continue this work.”
Mr Peres, who served both as Israeli Prime Minister and President, was jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize following the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1994 along with Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat.
