The Palestinian Authority is facing a supreme test of its credibility.

This infrastructure is murderous and we will try to deal with it and silence it.

The key is with the Palestinian Authority that must impose law and order ... That is the basis that would allow us to move toward a permanent settlement. The first thing is disarming the terrorist groups.

That may cause difficulties for the Palestinians, but the priority is to ensure Israeli security.

But if he is on the brink of extinction, he certainly may take suicidal steps involving the launching of a few missiles against Israel.

They look like they're running a system which has neither law nor order, neither organization nor authority.

Egypt ... has to impose down to the smallest detail a regime of security ... to stop smuggling, to stop breaches of its sovereignty. As far as I understand the Egyptians they are determined to do that.

It is inconceivable that Egypt as a sovereign country does not control its border.

Egypt is a big country which claims to respect the agreements it signs.
