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

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.

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

Peace with Syria would provide more security than a few settlements on the Golan.

Syria doesn't want to talk with us on a bilateral basis, only under the auspices of the United States.

I considered the prevention of war as the test of our security policy; in addition to being able to rapidly and forcefully end any war forced upon us.

We accept every form or way to talk to the Syrians how to achieve peace.
