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.

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

I love my country more than anything else.

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

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

I never thought that Syria and Israel should engage in a violent confrontation because I don't think that there is any particular interest for any of us to do it.

My doctors say I am very healthy.
