Ariel Sharon Is A Man Of Peace.

Israel Is A Wonderful Country. It's A Beautiful Country. It Is Ours. But It Is A Country With 10,000 Problems That We Have To Solve And Deal.

I Am 73 Years Old. I've Seen Everything. I've Met The Kings, The Queens, The Presidents, I've Been Around The World. I Have One Thing That I Would Like To Do: To Try To Reach Peace.

Both During The Elections And As Prime Minister, I Have Repeatedly And Publicly Said That I Support The Establishment Of A Palestinian State Alongside The State Of Israel.

You Cannot Like The Word, But What Is Happening Is An Occupation - To Hold 3.5 Million Palestinians Under Occupation. I Believe That Is A Terrible Thing For Israel And For The Palestinians.

But There's One Thing We Are Not Going To Compromise At All: When It Comes To Security Of Israeli Citizens And The State Of Israel, There Are Not Going To Be Any Compromises - Not Now And Not In The Future.
