What keeps me up at night is poverty and unemployment.

Historic changes and challenges. Breakthroughs in human knowledge and opportunity. And yet, for vast numbers across the globe, the daily realities have not altered.

No matter what's happening in the Middle East - the Arab Spring, et cetera, the economic challenges, high rates of unemployment - the emotional, critical issue is always the Israeli-Palestinian one.

Jerusalem is a time bomb that I fear is just waiting to go off.

If you believe that the killing of innocent people is right, then you are not part of my future.

In our view, successful reform is not an event. It is a sustainable process that will build on its own successes - a virtuous cycle of change.

I hope that none of the countries in the Middle East are planning anything but the peaceful utilization of nuclear energy.
