It is true that we aspire to our ancient land. But what we want in that ancient land is a new blossoming of the Jewish spirit.

The great question of our day is whether we, the Jewish people of Israel, can find within us the will to survive as a nation.

Jewish existence in the Land of Israel depends only on the Jews, and on what the Jews think of themselves.

Sometimes I think that if we have to go back, then it certainly won't be to Jerusalem. Not to the Jerusalem beset with racism that we left at the height of the last Gaza war.

Every leaving of a Jewish community is a most difficult thing.

The State of Israel failed in absorbing the Jews from Ethiopia.

I feel that the Jews have always had a special connection to this part of the world, which in geographical terms was called Palestine for so many centuries.

All of the land of Israel is ours.

Ours is a country built more on people than on territory. The Jews will come from everywhere: from France, from Russia, from America, from Yemen... Their faith is their passport.

You know, I get much more Jewish in Israel because I like the way that religion is done there.
