There must be some security arrangement in the south of Lebanon so northern Israel is not threatened anymore.

Lebanon, of course, is a country with great problems. Traditionally, they have religious-national groups or ethnic-national groups. They have the Druses. Even the two Moslem sects, the Sunnis and the Shiites, are apart. Then they have the armed groups. Everybody's got a private army.

The framework for peace signed by Egypt and Israel is almost a peace treaty. We solved the problem for the peace treaty 98%.

The people of Israel have lived 3,700 years without a memorandum of understanding with America and will continue to live without it another 3,700 years.

The Palestinian Arabs will have their autonomy, we will have our security. We shall live together.

After 1957, Israel had to wait 10 full years for its flag to fly again over that liberated portion of the homeland.
