British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has received a red carpet welcome upon his arrival in Israel.
President Shimon Peres praised Brown for his record and philosophy and highlighted that the former British finance minister had "raised the British economy to unprecedented heights." Brown's visit to Israel is his first since he took office a year ago. He will also travel to Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank on Sunday for talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Acting Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, with a view to advancing the peace process. Brown has also been invited to address the Knesset, the first British prime minister to do so, before his departure on Monday afternoon.
