Security is something that serves Israeli interests and Palestinian interests. You have a common threat and you have a common enemy and it's important to deal with that as partners.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Israel won't be secure so long as Hamas is in power, and therefore, we need to come to a decision that we will break the will of Hamas to keep fighting.
Israel's flexibility is dependent on its sense of security.
Israel is following policies which maximise its security threats... policies which choose expansion over security... policies which lead to their moral degradation, their isolation, their delegitimation, as they call it now, and very likely ultimate destruction. That's not impossible.
Something that truly frustrates me is the impression in Israel that when you are talking about security, you are bold; you are tough: this is what we need against all the enemies that we have. And when someone is talking about peace, you know, it's the naive left wing, soft.
Most Israelis do want to keep Israel safe. The question is how do you do that.
I hope I say this the right way, but I'm convinced that Israel will not trust other countries to do what they have to do to protect their own security.
The security of Israel is a moral imperative for all free peoples.
But there's one thing we are not going to compromise at all: when it comes to security of Israeli citizens and the State of Israel, there are not going to be any compromises - not now and not in the future.
I will continue to believe that Israel's security is paramount.
Israel has an important principle: It is only Israel that is responsible for our security.
