By JPOST.COM STAFF

Professor Uzi Arad, who served as former prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu's foreign policy adviser, said Monday that the fact that Defense Minister Amir Peretz did not have an academic degree, harmed the state's security.

Officials at the Inter-Disciplinary Center, where Arad works, condemned the comment as racist.
