Ariel Sharon Is A Man Of Peace.

To The Citizens Of Israel, I Say: We Have Passed Difficult Years, Faced The Most Painful Experiences And Overcome Them. The Future Lies Before Us. We Are Required To Take Difficult And Controversial Steps, But We Must Not Miss The Opportunity To Try To Achieve What We Have Wished For, For So Many Years: Security, Tranquillity And Peace.

I Am The Last Person Who Would Divide Jerusalem. I Have Said This Many Times. I Don't Plan To Discuss Any Division Of Jerusalem.

Israel May Have The Right To Put Others On Trial, But Certainly No One Has The Right To Put The Jewish People And The State Of Israel On Trial.

One Must Remember That The Jews Have One, Tiny Country, The Only Place They Have The Right And Capability To Defend Themselves By Themselves. And It Is Our Duty And My Responsibility To See That We Will Never Compromise About That.

I Am Ready To Compromise, But There Is One Thing I Won't Compromise On: The Safety Of The Israeli People.
