Israel is moving from the realm of poetry to the realm of prose.

Without freedom you cannot have real peace.

A solution of two national states - a Jewish state, Israel; an Arab state, Palestine. The Palestinians are our closest neighbors. I believe they may become our closest friends.

One of the things the United States does well is building coalitions. What the U.S. knows is that if you don't have a coalition with you, you will have a coalition against you. I don't want to see China and Russia on the side of Iran more strongly than they are.

I don't know what is stronger or what is weaker.The whole language of strength and weaknesses is irrelevant,because when you use arms you do not use ballots, and public opinion is unimportant, and they shoot at their opponents.

The minute you try to threaten and use boycotts I think it is outside the democratic perception.

You don't make peace with friends. You make it with very unsavory enemies.
