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

Ten years ago I said, you know, my goal is to be able to get food on the table. What I'm trying to say by that is trying to create a vibrant, capable and effective middle class. The quicker and stronger that we can be able to do this, the easier it is for political reform to move forward.

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

The Arab Spring I think we will look back whether it's two years, five years, ten or fifteen. And say it's a good thing.

We have to always hope in humanity that people will make the right choices.

Blowing up buses will not induce the Israelis to move forward, and neither will the killing of Palestinians or the demolition of their homes and their future. All this needs to stop. And we pledge that Jordan will do its utmost to help achieve it.

I think the debate in our society now is that people have to agree on zero-tolerance to terrorism.
