The combination of extremist ideology, a warped understanding of reality and nuclear weapons is a combination that no-one in the international community can accept.

The repeated outrageous remarks by the Iranian president unfortunately indicate the real mind-set of the ruling clique.

It is clear that as long as Islamic Jihad remains armed, it will have the ability both to kill innocent civilians and to kill chances for peace. What is needed is a continuous ongoing effort by the Palestinian leadership to disarm these extremist groups.

We hope these extremist comments by the Iranian president will make the international community open its eyes and abandon any illusions about this regime.

The Palestinian Authority honoring its commitments in the fight against terrorism is a prerequisite for moving forward with the political dialogue.

Our problem with the Palestinian leadership - and none of us has given up on them as partners - is not their words. But it stays at the level of articulated statements and is not translated on the ground into action.

We believe the combination of fanatical ideology together with nuclear weaponry is a combination that no thinking person can feel comfortable with.

We found solutions both sides can live with. The challenge was to find a successful balance between the very real security threats faced by Israel, while providing maximum movement in and out of Gaza for the Palestinians. I think it's a win-win agreement.

Unfortunately what we've seen with these media outlets is that they are propaganda organs for terrorist organizations. They churn out the most hateful propaganda.
