Maaele Adumim is part of Israel. Gush Etzion is part of Israel.

We can never totally return to the indefensible pre-1967 borders, ... We simply cannot afford to make Israel [9 miles] wide again at its center. We can't allow the Palestinians to be a couple [miles] from [Tel Aviv's] Ben Gurion Airport in the age of shoulder-fire missiles with the capacity to shoot down jumbo jets. But that doesn't mean we must remain in every corner of the West Bank or in Gaza, where fewer than 10,000 Jews, living next to 1.3 million Palestinians, have been protected by twice as many soldiers.

This is a sign of absolute weakness by the prime minister of Israel ... if he will technically agree to it, the people of Israel will never approve it,

We are talking about a desire to define the permanent borders of Israel in the framework of an agreement [with the Palestinians] based on the road map.

Palestinians want Israel to return back into boundaries, the width of which is 12 km., that can be cut into pieces within minutes.

There is nowhere I encounter greater understanding for Israel's existential issues than in the Oval Office.
