When there is a Palestinian state, it will absorb hundreds of thousands of refugees from Syria and Lebanon, because these states will simply expel all of these refugees.

I want the State of Israel to remain a Zionist, Jewish and democratic state. There is nothing 'far' or 'ultra' about those ideals. I also advocate the creation of a viable Palestinian state.

We need to see a Palestinian state.

The term 'demilitarized Palestinian state' is an oxymoron.

I think that peace will require two states, a Palestinian state that recognizes the Jewish state.

I'd be happy if, during my mandate, the Palestinian state existed.
