When I negotiated the ceasefire in Gaza with President Morsi, he was, you know, very involved.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As prime minister, I was the Israeli leader who walked the greatest distance in his offers to the Palestinians.
When I was elected President nobody asked me to negotiate between Israel and Egypt. It was not even a question raised in my campaign. But I felt that one of the reasons that I was elected President was to try to bring peace to the Holy Land.
I am the Israeli leader who met most with Arafat.
I am an American Jew and aware of the sensitivities involved in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
One way or another, Gaza's residents must live in peace with Israel.
What I really - and I would like to clarify my position, to topple Hamas. And I think it's possible to bring reasonable people, moderate people to take power in Gaza Strip.
I fought against Palestinians. I saw them.
The truce brokered by Egypt between Israel and Hamas depends, above all, on the borders between Egypt, Gaza and Israel.
In November 2008, the day of the presidential election, Israeli military forces invaded Gaza and killed half a dozen Hamas militants. Well, that was followed by a missile exchange for a couple of weeks in both directions.
When Mohamed Morsi was elected president of Egypt in 2012, many in the country, including me, were hopeful that he would become a democratic president for all Egyptians - not only for the Muslim Brotherhood.
