Israeli President Shimon Peres does not intend to try to extend his tenure as president when his seven-year term expires in the summer of 2014, he told Israel Radio on Sunday. Speaking in an interview at the tail-end of a state visit to Mexico, Peres said in response to queries about whether he would return to politics following his presidency, that "it is possible to serve the country outside of political life as well." Peres continued to push for advancement of the peace process with the Palestinians during his visit to Mexico. Despite all the difficulties and delays, President Shimon Peres continues to believe that Israel will reach a peace agreement with the Palestinians.
