You don't make friends with friends. You have got to make friends with your enemies.

Israel has an important principle: It is only Israel that is responsible for our security.

A diplomatic peace is not yet the real peace. It is an essential step in the peace process leading towards a real peace.

For me, Jerusalem was united, will be under Israel sovereignty, will be the capital of Israel and the heart of the Jewish people.

[Israel will] create in the course of the next 10 or 20 years conditions which would attract natural and voluntary migration of the refugees from the Gaza Strip and the west Bank to Jordan. To achieve this we have to come to agreement with King Hussein and not with Yasser Arafat.

We are ready to compromise. We are ready to take calculated risks, but for a peace that will give us security.

I admire King Hussein his courage in leading his country for a long time.
