I know the war in Iraq is controversial in the States, but for us in the Middle East it has made a great and significant impact.

There is a Western world. There is America. There is Great Britain and Germany and France and Russia and China and other nations. I doubt that there is one country amongst those I mentioned which has a desire to see Iran, with its fundamentalist, Islamic, extremist government, possessing nuclear weapons.

A prime minister must not promise things that can't be fulfilled.

We are tired of fighting, we are tired of being courageous, we are tired of winning, we are tired of defeating our enemies, we want that we will be able to live in an entirely different environment of relations with our enemies.

If the day comes when the two-state solution collapses, and we face a South African-style struggle for equal voting rights (also for the Palestinians in the territories), then, as soon as that happens, the State of Israel is finished.

Political leaders can help change the psychological climate which affects the quality of relationships among people.

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