We stand committed to pursue the peace process, but not under the threat of terrorist attacks. We were attacked every day, every day, in Palestinian-controlled areas... without prior notices.

The last leg in the negotiations is always the most difficult. It requires courage. It requires a lot of historic sense and it requires the taking of certain positions that unfortunately we haven't experienced yet from the Palestinian side.

Whatever comes out of direct negotiations between the parties as a result of negotiations and debate between the parties is always the best way to get into the details and get the best results.
