(Communicated by the President’s Spokesperson)

The Fourth Israel Presidential Conference 'Facing Tomorrow' will be held
from June 19-21, 2012. The first presidential conference took place in May
2008, one week after Israel celebrated its 60th year of independence, and on
the basis of its success became an annual event. The conference is centered
around discussions, panels and plenary sessions aimed at answering one
question: how can we foster a better tomorrow for the international
community, Israel and the Jewish world.

Ahead of the 4th Israeli Presidential Conference , "Facing Tomorrow", set to
begin on Tuesday 19th June 2012, conference organizers announced the launch
of a new app on the Conference Facebook page, allowing people from around
the world to have a personal, interactive conversation with President Shimon
Peres.

The conversation with President Peres was created by Interlude, a leading
developer of social media video technologies. Web users can speak with the
President about almost every topic, including love, politics, the future,
hobbies, statesmanship and more.

With this new app, topics that will be discussed by the President at the
Conference are now open to people around the world, and not just those at
the Conference. The platform will be hosted on the conference's Facebook
page. Additionally, people who "Friend" the Conference page will be able to
watch live broadcasts of conference panels, and react to the ideas presented
in real time.

"We are speaking about an exceptional opportunity for citizens around the
world to get to know Peres the man – memories of his beloved wife Sonia Z"L,
the crises he's endured in politics, his love of sport, the books he reads,
the poems he's written, his hope for a better tomorrow, and his vision for
peace," said Israel Maimon, Chairman of the Steering Committee of the
Israeli Presidential Conference. "President Peres is the first global leader
to take part in a project of this magnitude, providing him with the capacity
to present his vision for a better tomorrow to a new, younger audience via a
very innovative medium."

"President Peres is a leader who looks to the future. His willingness to
work with us on this new project comes from his understanding that young
people are looking for personal experiences in the interactive world," said
Yoni Bloch, founder and CEO of Interlude. "Thanks to this new technology,
any individual can have a personal conversation with the President in a way
that was previously unimaginable. The President is opening a channel to
global citizenry to get to know him personally, in a way he has not been
seen at any event or in any interview. The President speaks about his
disappointments, his hopes, the opportunities for a better tomorrow and the
dangers we face in the present."
