Israel is prepared for a compromise. The majority of Israelis understand this compromise will be serious, will be meaningful, and will be painful.

I hope any government formed in Egypt will understand there is no choice but to maintain the framework of international agreements, which include the peace agreement with Israel.

We believe that we should come to an agreement with the Palestinians. But we need two to tango.

As long as there are no negotiations with the Palestinians, Israel is and will continue to be in a difficult situation.

And Israel, being a tiny, small country, of course has interest to strengthen - we have interest to strengthen our relations with other countries, mostly countries that were hostile for many, many years.

You know, it is very clear that the Israelis, they don't want this plan and they don't agree.

I think that a strong Israel is the only Israel that will bring the Arabs to the peace table.

A final agreement between Israel and the Palestinians has to be based on a program of exchange of territory and populations.

Let me be absolutely clear. Israel is a strong friend of Israel's. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under a McCain administration. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under an Obama administration. So that policy is not going to change.

My constituents support Israel.
