I think the attempt to draw a comparison between Iran and Syria is false, misleading and dangerous.
I am focused on what needs to be done for the people of Israel. Period. I do not pity myself and I do not pat myself on the shoulder. I get up in the morning full of energy to fulfill my mission.
My doctors say I am very healthy.
Who thinks seriously that if we sit on another hilltop, on another hundred meters, that this is what will make the difference for the state of Israel's basic security?
I never thought that Syria and Israel should engage in a violent confrontation because I don't think that there is any particular interest for any of us to do it.
Israel always has to be in a position to defend itself against any adversary and against any threat of any kind.
Look, miracles in the Middle East are a reality.
Peace is important for Israel.
Iran is an anti-Semitic, terrorist government.
Israel will not tolerate a situation in which Iran has effective control of non-conventional weapons that can be used directly against the state of Israel.
I was not born to be prime minister, and I'm not going to stay here until the end of my life. I'm too young for that.
I know the war in Iraq is controversial in the States, but for us in the Middle East it has made a great and significant impact.
Politicians are strong to the extent that they are ready to take serious decisions and fight for it.
Saudi Arabia is the country that in the end will determine the ability of the Arabs to reach a compromise with Israel.
There is no doubt that there is a very strange phenomenon called the 'State Comptroller.'
It's a problem sometimes when you speak to journalists. They quote you, and then they read what they wrote, and then they even explain it. It's dangerous.
I want to separate from the Palestinians. I want them to have their independent, separate state on a contiguous territory, and I want Israel to exist, of course, as a Jewish state in its own territory, as an independent state in its own territory. The Palestinian state, the Israeli state, separate. This is my dream.
The days that Israel was separated from Europe are gone.
I don't understand this pathetic need for luxuries.
I don't expect to be coddled, but I'm also a human being.
