I have to think about the possible ramifications of an early retirement.

Israel always has to be in a position to defend itself against any adversary and against any threat of any kind.

When the President of Iran talks about removing Israel from the face of the Earth and is building nuclear bombs with a range of 3000km, you have to be worried.

Who thinks seriously that if we sit on another hilltop, on another hundred meters, that this is what will make the difference for the state of Israel's basic security?

When you fight for the impossible, sometimes you lose everything.

Iran is a major threat to the well-being of Europe and America just as much as it is for the state of Israel.

Peace is important for Israel.
