We are certainly at a very delicate moment where there is also a great deal of potential. |
We can't have a failure in Iraq, but we also can't be there for the next 10 years because if we are, it's going to become, I think, a failure in and of itself. |
We cannot afford to soften these conditions. |
We had a very good discussion, and I think we are making headway. Issues are being dealt with seriously, intensively and comprehensively in a way that I think gives us a chance to put the process back on track. |
We have a beginning. It's a step in the right direction. Now we have to see results. |
We have a start at this point. |
We have been working and there will be a meeting tonight between the prime minister and the chairman at Erez, |
We're hopeful that we'll see an agreement very soon. |
We're not looking for meetings as an end in themselves. We're looking for results. |
What I have found is that there is a will -- what we have to find is the way. |
What the Bush administration needs to do is ... make their own assessment exactly what the landscape is. What's possible, what's meaningful. And if they focus that way, that will inevitably take some time. |
What's important is not meetings for their own sake but results ... that will have a consequence on the security environment. |
When one thinks about religion, one should think about peace. |
With the right kind of spirit, with the right kind of determination, if the will is there and there is a genuine effort to negotiate in good faith, I believe the parties are not being too ambitious. I believe it is possible. |
