One way or another, Gaza's residents must live in peace with Israel.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
The people of Israel are entitled, as is any other nation, to live in peace and safety.
Peace is important for Israel.
The Israelis would like to live in peace within their borders; the Arabs would like to kill them all.
Israel desperately needs peace if it is to come anywhere close to being the 'light unto nations' of Jewish dreams.
Palestinians have had to live for a long time with the fact that Israelis had power over them in their everyday lives.
Hamas is really a problem for the Palestinians and for Egypt more than Israel.
It's their choice, the choice of the people of Gaza, to create the real peace or at least to create conditions of coexistence.
The one thing that I'm absolutely sure about is that the people of Gaza aren't going anywhere. And neither are the people of Israel.
There's no doubt that our hearts are with the residents of Gaza. We and the whole world are unable to get to a situation in which Gaza can be rehabilitated. There needs to be an international initiative with Israel's participation, in order to bring an end to the enmity against us.
