Speak less but act more.

Young people in particular need real options to find a decent job and to lift their lives. I'm not sure the new Islamist governments will be the best to promote prosperity and growth.

But, you know, once you're in government, very often you need to shoulder responsibility. I hope the new Spanish government will think about this and will therefore act accordingly. I really and sincerely hope so.

Without economic development, any potential for political openness and freedom will be questionable.

The harm done to Israel is damage done to the West. And delegitimizing Israel is a delegitimization of the West.

There are countries that prefer to think that they're buying comfort at the cost of others, but I don't think that's the way you can act in this world. There are no neutral groups.

My conviction is that the best strategy to defend the West is to defend Israel.
