Peres returns to race in bid for Israeli prime minister
Shimon Peres, 77, joins the Israeli race after a string of losses, saying he can negotiate peace with Palestinians. He trails Ehud Barak in polls and runs nearly neck and neck with Ariel Sharon in a three way contest, with Meretz backing needed signatures for candidacy. Peres has long negotiated with Yasser Arafat and is seen as better able to connect with Palestinians, though security concerns persist among critics.
