I don't know of any army that does more than an Israeli army does to avoid civilian casualties. But incidental and unintended casualties accompany every war.

Those in the international community that refuse to put red lines before Iran don't have a moral right to place a red light before Israel.

We wanted peace and we wanted to come to terms with the Israelis.

So I think we should stay focused on the real problem in the Middle East. It's not Israel. It's these dictatorships that are developing nuclear weapons with the specific goal of wiping Israel away.

All I can tell you is that Israel's position in the Arab world has changed because they no longer see Israel as their enemy, but as their ally, in their indispensable battle against the forces of militant Islam, either those led by Iran, the Shiites, or - and those led by Daesh - by ISIS, the militant Sunnis.

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

Israel does not target civilians. It targets the terrorists.
