Gaddafi "will not be forgiven", Israel's Peres says
Feb 23, 2011, 11:27 GMT
Madrid - Israeli President Shimon Peres said Wednesday Gaddafi 'will not be forgiven for having killed hundreds of people in his country,' during a visit to Spain.
Peres, on day two of a trip to Spain, also said he was not favourable to any eventual outside intervention in Libya - but that dictators should be cornered with economic sanctions and moral campaigns.
'The time has come for the world to condemn dictators loud and clear,' Peres said.
'A situation has to be created in which it is a shame to be seen in the company' of the likes of Libya's Moamer Gaddafi or Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, said the president, himself the co-winner of the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize.
The United Nations Security Council could not oust Gaddafi, because only the Libyan people were in a position to do so, Peres said.
