We have expressed our concern to both sides. |
We have never said more than we have said in the case. This issue has been solved in a satisfactory way with the New Zealand government. |
We have proposed an EU presence there to act as an auxiliary that would enable the Palestinians to do their job. We have to have a force there that can make sure that border security is what it should be. |
We have to move ahead on the crossings issue by balancing the very real security threats with the desire to allow for maximum possible movement of people and goods, |
We have to move ahead on the crossings issue by balancing the very real security threats with the desire to allow for maximum possible movement of people and goods. |
We have to see in Gaza rule of law. We have to see in Gaza the dismantling of the different terrorist organizations. We have to see the Palestinians step up to the plate, and show that they can create the foundations of what will be, in the long-term, a democratic Palestinian state. |
We hope that the organized international community will, through the vehicle of the Security Council, present the extremist regime in Tehran with a clear dilemma. Either they totally cease their nuclear weapons development program or they seriously endanger their relationship with the community of nations. |
We hope these extremist comments by the Iranian president will make the international community open its eyes and abandon any illusions about this regime. |
We regret that the meeting is not going to happen tomorrow. |
We think that these agreements reached with the Palestinians and the Egyptians are a good balance and provide a good framework, a win-win situation, |
We understand that a successful Gaza economy is a crucial ingredient in the overall success of what is now Palestinian Gaza. And the success of Gaza is a crucial factor in getting the peace process back on track. |
We understand the needs, and we have offered another option, but the Palestinians rejected this. We have had to take additional security steps because we have seen an escalation in terrorist activity. |
We understand there are real needs, and we'll do what we can, but we can't just open up the borders immediately, because of security concerns. We'll do things incrementally. |
We want the Palestinian leadership to understand that if they unilaterally abrogate signed agreements, Israel will move to defend its interests. |
We want to be as flexible as we can on the issue of the crossings, |
