JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli President Shimon Peres has applauded pro-reform protesters in Iran, saying he hopes for an end to Iran's hard-line leadership.

Sunday's comments from Israel's ceremonial president are among the highest-level expressions of support for the protesters so far from Israel, Iran's bitter enemy.

Speaking to a Jewish group, the Nobel peace prize laureate called on young Iranians to "raise their voice for freedom."
