For me to propose a division of Jerusalem was really terrible. I did it because I reached a conclusion that without which there will not be peace.

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 love my country more than anything else.

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

I don't want to block every contact with the Palestinians, I think that would be a mistake, and I think that Abu Mazen has an independent status as democratically elected head of the Palestinian people, and it's important if I will talk with him.

In Israel we tend to be carried away by our emotions.
