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

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

We are not going to damage our safety and our security. We're not going to give those extremists the privilege to come so freely to Israel in order to carry out more attacks against us and kill us one day after another.

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

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

Most of the international community, most of the countries around the world, don't want any side, any party to take unilateral steps. They would like that all of us to stick to the road map.

In my view, Arafat is the only Palestinian in the world that isn't willing to have an independent Palestinian state.
