While Israel is prepared to make generous compromises for peace, it cannot go back to the 1967 lines...

The Romans used to say that courage is not the only virtue, but it's the only one that makes the other virtues possible.

Israel is doing what any other country would do, and certainly the U.S. would do. If 80 percent of your population were under fire and you had 60 seconds or 90 seconds to get into bomb shelters, if terror tunnels were dug underneath your border in order to come in and explode your kindergartens and massacre your people and kidnap American citizens.

The idea of imposing peace from the outside doesn't work.

[The decision to travel to Washington and deliver the speech] has injected a degree of partisanship, which is not only unfortunate, I think it's destructive of the fabric of the relationship

American leaders worry about the security of their country. Israeli leaders worry about the survival of their country.

Certainly the international community is putting a lot of pressure on Iran and making clear that its nuclear program must stop. If it stops with the sanctions, the combinations of sanctions, diplomacy, other pressures, I, as the prime minister of Israel, will be the happiest person in the world.
