The entire world is focusing on the compromises that are necessary from Israel's side. But people [in the world] are not focusing on the fact that the Palestinians refuse to make the necessary compromises that are required on their side for peace.

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

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

Don’t be fooled. The battle between Iran and ISIS doesn’t turn Iran into a friend of America.

The prime minister of Israel is welcome to speak in the United States, obviously. But we don't want to see this turned into some great political football

Israel can make peace with an organization that seeks its destruction. That's Hamas. But Israel can make peace with the Palestinian Authority. It requires a lot of courage from both sides including President Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority.

Peace is purchased from strength. It's not purchased from weakness or unilateral retreats.
