There are plenty of right-wing radicals in Israel with weapons, and the Arab communities are vulnerable because they are open to everyone and the people do not have arms.

I think the Israelis should decide what they want -- peace with Arabs or not.

The Syrians are going to the negotiations in Washington with full seriousness and the intention that these conversations will bear fruit and succeed. They are very interested in having these talks begin and go in the right direction.

I don't think this is a factor in political thinking. King Hussein was also married to a Palestinian woman at a time when his conflict with the Palestinians was at a climax.

You cannot play with the blood of sons. This is not only an extremely sensitive but also potentially explosive affair.

For the future of our sons, we cannot keep silent in the wake of these findings, ... forfeit the lives of Arabs.

This candidacy was supposed to be a tool -- to make a point that we want the state to be the state for all of the citizens and to bargain for Arab rights.

People waiting for a savior will be disappointed. People who are more realistic and thinking about progress in the transitional period can be more optimistic in the first six months -- the grace time.
