In this meeting we had an exchange of views, and we will continue talking, ... It is better talking than shooting.

I am in favor of talking with the Palestinians, ... I think the [aerial] bombings should be stopped. They do us more harm than good.

We are talking about human rights, ... The first human right is to remain alive, and Israel is in danger. We are exercising the most important human right.

The Palestinians must demonstrate they are capable of controlling Gaza. If they do not demonstrate that, it will be very difficult to resume the negotiations,

it will be very difficult to continue with the peace process.

We will haven't recovered from this (the Holocaust) and I still hear these calls from Iran to destroy Israel.
