FM Livni to Secy Rice: There is today hope for peace
26 Aug 2008
FM Livni: We need to remind ourselves where we stood only a year ago, when we faced terror attacks, when the situation in the Gaza Strip led to an understanding that there was no hope for peace.
We launched the Annapolis process. There is now a dialogue between Israel and diplomatic leaders on the Palestinian side. There is hope for peace, which can represent the interests of both sides.

For paraplegics, the dream of walking again must seem like a distant hope. But today, that has changed. Thanks to an Israeli-developed exoskeleton, many wheelchair-bound people will now be able to stand up, walk and even climb stairs. The innovative system, dubbed ReWalk, is based on a wearable exoskeleton - a light support suit with motors at the joints and sensors that, among other tasks, detect upper body movement.
