I sometimes feel tired. But there are so many reasons for being tired.

How are fears born? They are born because of differences in tradition and history; they are born because of differences in emotional, political and national circumstances. Because of such differences, people fear they cannot live together.

The military operation in Lebanon was the most successful military operation in recent Israeli history. Many in Israel don't recognise that.

Iran is an anti-Semitic, terrorist government.

Leadership is tested not by one's capacity to survive politically but by the ability to make tough decisions in trying times.

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

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