Bulgaria is a true friend of Israel, that stood up to save the Jewish people 70 years ago in Europe, and who stood by throughout the terror attack that took place in Burgas last July.

I've been involved in ties with elements in the Arab world for years now. They wish to establish relations with Israel, but they cannot do so while there is no peace process.

I can certainly put myself in Israel's shoes. They are humans just like we are. They want peace and security inside their borders.

I am really bothered when I see my friends facing problems back in Iran, but I tell them that not all the doors are shut.

Serbia is open for business.

Israel is a piece of real estate that neither Jew or Arab will let go of; neither will leave these shores. And so they will have to learn to live together.

I hope I say this the right way, but I'm convinced that Israel will not trust other countries to do what they have to do to protect their own security.

It is hard to find a country friendlier to Israel than Canada these days. No other country in the world has demonstrated such a full understanding of us.

I have often supported Israel, I have often visited the country and want the country to exist and at last find peace with its neighbours.
