We need to see a Palestinian state.

I believe the Palestinians have never indicated a willingness to meet our minimum requirements, which are recognition of Israel's permanence and legitimacy as a Jewish state and end of claims and end of conflict.

The way for the Palestinians to get a state is to go ahead and build it.

I think that peace will require two states, a Palestinian state that recognizes the Jewish state.

It is in Israel's interest not to govern the Palestinians but for the Palestinians to govern themselves in their own state.

Now, when we say we want peace, what we want is really for our Palestinian neighbours to have a demilitarized state next to us that recognizes the Jewish State. We're willing to recognize their state, the Palestinian state. But we ask them to recognize the Jewish state.

We have a responsibility to ensure the Palestinian Authority is abiding by U.S. law with total transparency.

The Palestinians must be brought to an understanding that Jerusalem will always remain under Israeli sovereignty and that there is no point for them in opening negotiations about Jerusalem.

That can be achieved by termination of Israeli occupation to the territories according to the international resolutions related, so the Palestinian State can be establish with Jerusalem as capital for such State.
