Peace with Israel is a strategic imperative for Jordan.
From Abdullah II of Jordan
I hope that none of the countries in the Middle East are planning anything but the peaceful utilization of nuclear energy.
Whenever you have a crisis, you're always going to have the extremists taking advantage of the situation.
When there's a status quo, usually what shakes everybody up is some sort of military confrontation, at which point we all come running and screaming to pick up the pieces.
When you get billions in aid and your weapons resupplied and your ammunition stock resupplied, you don't learn the lesson that war is bad and nobody wins.
If you look at military and intelligence positions from the 1950s, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has always been against American national interests.
Remember you don't do anything in isolation.
Jerusalem is a time bomb that I fear is just waiting to go off.
Many occasions I've sat down with Israelis to say, where do you see your country in 10 years time, and work me back, so we can figure out the synergies and the connections between Israel and the rest of the Arab world. No Israeli has ever been able to answer that question.
You're always going to have extremists in every religion.
