That life advice came from Shimon Peres as I sat with him in his Tel Aviv apartment for a Fox News interview just two months ago. The former Israeli Prime Minister and President who was a founding father of the Jewish state died at age 93 Tuesday night, but as we met this summer he was full of life, optimistic, insightful, and wise. I had interviewed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the day before, and I was scheduled to sit down with Former Prime Minister Ehud Barak later on the day I met Peres. In a nearly one-hour interview, Peres not only expounded on the legacy of his nation, but philosophically spoke about the human spirit. The former Prime Minister brought out a bottle of chilled white wine from the Golan Heights, and, along with my producer Jonathan Wachtel, we toasted life.
