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.

There is nothing that I'd love to do more than negotiate with Palestinians. This is my desire. This is my dream. This is my mission.

I look forward to continuing to serve the people of New York and making our state a safer place to live, work and raise families for many years to come.

I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.

Our forces saved the remnants of the Jewish people of Europe for a new life and a new hope in the reborn land of Israel. Along with all men of good will, I salute the young state and wish it well.

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

If I have to advise our brothers in France, I'll tell them one thing - move to Israel, as early as possible. I say that to Jews all around the world, but there I think it's a must and they have to move immediately.

I want to serve the people.

One thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.
