Yitzhak rabin

I believe however that peace is attainable regardless of the Arabs mentality, society or government.

Jerusalem is united, will never be divided again.

I would like Israel to be a Jewish state, and therefore not to annex over 2 million Palestinians who live in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip to Israel, which will make Israel a bi-national state.

I am 73 years old. I was born in Jerusalem. I'm the first prime minister of Israel to be born here. I am the only former general to become a prime minister.

Israel is no longer a people that dwells alone, and has to join the global journey toward peace, reconciliation and international cooperation.

I believe that it is my responsibility as the prime minister of Israel to do whatever can be done to exploit the unique opportunities that lie ahead of us to move towards peace. Not everything can be...

A diplomatic peace is not yet the real peace. It is an essential step in the peace process leading towards a real peace.

The world is no longer against us.

We do not celebrate the death of our enemies.

It is not worth the paper it is written on unless it is backed by the kind of force that will make the other side consider the penalties too heavy to break the agreement.
