He stood for all of that. But for the last 30 years, at least, he mainly stood for brokering some kind of peace deal. Exposing himself to all kinds of criticism from the Israeli right. He also stood for founding the Peres center for peace where he virtually worked until his last breath.

I grew up observing the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Peres was one of those knowing that there will be the necessity to give up territory in order to achieve peace.

Unforunately for the prospects of actual peace, like most Israeli "peacenik" politicians, he demqnded that the Palestinians be the ones giving up the land.
