Vis a vis the Golan Heights, the present government of Israel, under my leadership, is the first government that is ready to speak about a withdrawal.

I believe that in the long run, separation between Israel and the Palestinians is the best solution for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

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

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

You have got to sit down and talk to people. You can't understand people from a distance.

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

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