I Am The Last Person Who Would

A Rabbi Told Me That When You Have Two Problems - One Near, One Not So Near - Concentrate On The Immediate One.

I Am For Lasting Peace... United, I Believe, We Can Win The Battle For Peace. But It Must Be A Different Peace, One With Full Recognition Of The Rights Of The Jews In Their One And Only Land: Peace With Security For Generations And Peace With A United Jerusalem As The Eternal, Undivided Capital Of The Jewish People In The State Of Israel Forever.

To The Citizens Of Israel, I Say: We Have Passed Difficult Years, Faced The Most Painful Experiences And Overcome Them. The Future Lies Before Us. We Are Required To Take Difficult And Controversial Steps, But We Must Not Miss The Opportunity To Try To Achieve What We Have Wished For, For So Many Years: Security, Tranquillity And Peace.

Myself, First Of All, I Am A Jew. And That Is The Most Important Thing For Me.

We Don't Have Any Intention Whatsoever To Use Military Force To Solve The Palestinian Problem. But When It Comes To Terror - When It Comes To Terror, I Believe That Military - The Right Military Steps Is A Very, Very Complicated Kind Of Warfare, Where I Make Every Effort Not To Escalate The Situation.
