I'll continue to carry out whatever we are committed to. Whatever we believe leads us to a permanent solution the way we want it, the way I want it.

I invite President Assad to come to Jerusalem and to speak with me, with our parliament, with whomever he wants to speak in Israel and in the territories among the Palestinians.

I think the fact that we have been focussing on politics quite a lot and the tumult of politics rather than what we should be doing in terms of policy has made, I think, voters quite grumpy.

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

We have to recognize that there is a Palestinian entity, that the PLO and the Palestinian Authority has to run their life.

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

Peace is not made with friends. Peace is made with enemies.
