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.

I dont know that there is one serious American representative that will advise Israel to sit with a terrorist government and negotiate with them.

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?

I want to arrive at the possibility of peace with the Syrians, and when I believe that the conditions are right, I will not miss the opportunity.

I think the attempt to draw a comparison between Iran and Syria is false, misleading and dangerous.

It is important that democracy in Lebanon is protected and that Hezbollah will not be supported by outside forces like Syria and Iran.

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