I think that a strong Israel is the only Israel that will bring the Arabs to the peace table.

The only peace that can endure is a peace that can be defended.

As far as a nuclear weapons-free zone, you know, when the lion lies down with the lamb, and you don't need a new lamb every day to satisfy the lion, then we might have this kind of transformation in the Middle East.

Israelis do not need to be lectured about the importance of peace by foreign leaders.

I'm not consumed with political machinations.

I don't think you can rely on Iran. I don't think you can rely on other radicals like the Taliban. They dispatched Al Qaida to bomb New York and Washington. What were they thinking? Were they that stupid? They weren't stupid. There is an irrationality there, and there is madness in this method.

I don't want a one-state solution. I want a sustainable, peaceful two-state solution, but for that circumstances have to change.
