Israeli Defence Minister warns of apartheid state without peace (Roundup) - Monsters and Critics: "Tel Aviv - Israel risks becoming an 'apartheid' state if it does not guarantee voting rights to its Arab citizens and achieve peace with its neighbours, warned Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak Tuesday night.

Speaking at a strategy session, Barak said that Israel needs to work as a democracy if it moves to establish peace with all its neighbours.

Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad joined Barak in calling for a continuation of the peace process.

'This region has suffered for far to long,' he said. The Palestinians urgently need a new 'political horizion.'"
