We believe that we should come to an agreement with the Palestinians. But we need two to tango.

There is no taboo after this assassination and no one of the Palestinian leaders has immunity anymore, ... It shows once again the necessity to collect the illegal weapons and to dismantle the infrastructure of terrorist organizations.

No one can compare us to the apartheid regime. It's not like in South Africa between the blacks and the whites who belong to the same nation, or in Berlin where you find parents living on the eastern side and their children in the western side.

There's no preventative measure between the Palestinians, between those terrorists to the state of Israel.

It's not a democracy here, it's the Middle East.

The Palestinians are not willing to do anything, they're not willing to make the strategic decision to dismantle the infrastructure of terrorist organizations.

The security fence is reversible. Human lives are irreversible.
