We have no intention of allowing negotiations to take place, or allowing a third party to force us to recognize an organization that openly seeks to destroy Israel.

It is a clear and moral position that we cannot recognize a party that calls for Israel's destruction.

The Labor Party headed by me aspires to give Israel not only physical borders which will bring an end to the conflict between us and the Palestinians but also moral borders.

Israel will remain united against acts of terror, and both of us agreed that terror is the central element that endangers the future of the region. I asked (Abbas) to do everything in his power to reduce and stop acts of terror.

There is a feeling that we should have had these voters all along. We stand for everything these developing communities need.

I'm letting him choose between late February and late March.
