What keeps me up at night is poverty and unemployment.

Earth's dispossessed are vulnerable targets for extremists: those who teach that global justice is meaningless; that satisfaction can come only in violence, division, and intellectual isolation.

I'm just very wary that once you start military operations in any country, it's very difficult to predict what the outcome is.

Is Israel going to continue to be 'Fortress Israel'? Or, as we all hope, become accepted into the neighborhood, which I believe is the only way we can move forward in harmony.

I'm easily entertained.

Whenever you have a crisis, you're always going to have the extremists taking advantage of the situation.

We have peace with Israel. We're actually the last man standing. So there is going to be immense pressure and people asking, 'Why are we having this relationship when it's not benefiting anybody?' Obviously, my answer is you always benefit from peace.
