Peace with Israel is a strategic imperative for Jordan.

You can set up whatever negotiations or structure you want, but until the Palestinians are willing to accept the fact, as the majority of Israelis do, that there should be two states between the Jordan and the Mediterranean, we won't have peace.

And if we are honest we have to make a distinction between a democratic Israel that wants to live in peace and the terrorists who want Israel wiped out. The Israelis were told to give up land for peace; they gave up the land, but got no peace.

What we have really now is a one-state outcome in which Israel is the one and only state between the Jordan River and the sea. It can do whatever it wants virtually throughout the area. But that's not the kind of a state that's going to be a basis for peace and stability in the region.

I can unite the people of Israel, so I won't speak about controversial issues, which divide the people.

It's remarkable that the failures of the Obama, Clinton, Kerry foreign policy are not only uniting the Left and Right in Israel but might even be creating some common ground between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

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

Peace is important for Israel.

Israel is proud to be Jordan's partner and to stand at Jordan's side in promoting stability and quiet to our entire region.

My friends, there is no Palestinian-Israeli conflict. There is only the global war on terrorism.
