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

We do not celebrate the death of our enemies.

You don't make peace with friends. You make it with very unsavory enemies.

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

I believe that it is my responsibility as the prime minister of Israel to do whatever can be done to exploit the unique opportunities that lie ahead of us to move towards peace. Not everything can be done by one act.

I believe however that peace is attainable regardless of the Arabs mentality, society or government.

No Arab ruler will consider the peace process seriously so long as he is able to toy with the idea of achieving more by the way of violence.

The struggle to get weapons is continuous, but the United States will aid us, if it finds Israel displaying a willingness for peace.

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.
