We have been in the territories since 1967. In 2002, we had sometimes three or four suicide attacks every day. We came to the conclusion that it can't continue like that.

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

Cease-fire is important, but it can last only for a very, very, very short time.

In 1988, King Hussein of Jordan said that it doesn't take any connection any more to those territories, and he would like to split from those territories. So according to the international law, it doesn't belong to anyone.

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

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.
