It kind of scares me, the notion that we're going to be injecting ourselves into other countries' affairs when they're not posing a threat to our security. I wouldn't be telling Israel what to do.

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.

Israel can't make peace without the clear support of the United States.

You have to show Israel that it's not going to be forced to do things it doesn't want to do and can't do.

Israel must take decisions that are good to Israel. We must not try to satisfy anyone else, including our closest ally, the United States of America.

Israel's relations with the United States are a cornerstone, and without them, we cannot make our way in the current global climate.

Israel's security policy is determined by our needs. I strongly reject all the unfounded publicity suggesting that Israel is prevented from taking action because of international pressure.

I don't have any interest to go to Israel. I don't think I'd ever have a cause to go.

I am not a supporter of Israel's military policy, let alone any kind of Zionist.

I cannot conceive of Israel withdrawing if Arab states do not recognize Israel, within secure borders.
