We must think differently, look at things in a different way. Peace requires a world of new concepts, new definitions.

Israel is no longer a people that dwells alone, and has to join the global journey toward peace, reconciliation and international cooperation.

We did not think that [Egyptian President] Nasser wanted war. The two divisions he sent to Sinai on May 14 would not have been sufficient to launch an offensive against Israel. He knew it and we knew it.

I am healthy. I wish all my colleagues to the peace process to be healthy.
