You know, it is very clear that the Israelis, they don't want this plan and they don't agree.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Israel is prepared for a compromise. The majority of Israelis understand this compromise will be serious, will be meaningful, and will be painful.
You have to show Israel that it's not going to be forced to do things it doesn't want to do and can't do.
Most Israelis have a sense, 'We just don't want to live in the Middle East anymore. We don't want it to be the Middle East. Were going to just build a wall or operate unilaterally' - not try to even use force as used to be the case to convince Arabs to accept Israel by convincing them that Israel is here to stay and then negotiating.
We want the Israelis to leave. They want to leave - so let us let them leave.

Israel must take decisions that are good to Israel. We must not try to satisfy anyone else, including our closest ally, the United States of America.

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.
The government of Israel doesn't like the kinds of things I say, which puts them into the same category as every other government in the world.
The Israelis would like to live in peace within their borders; the Arabs would like to kill them all.
