Israel Will Not Tolerate A Situation In

I Was Not Born To Be Prime Minister, And I'm Not Going To Stay Here Until The End Of My Life. I'm Too Young For That.

The Palestinians Are Facing A Historic Junction At Which They Will Have To Decide Whether They Want To Remain Stuck In A Corner Of Extreme Fundamentalism, Which Will Cut Them Off From The Entire World, Or Whether They Are Ready To Take The Necessary Steps. My Role Is To Assist In Building This Process.

I Have To Think About The Possible Ramifications Of An Early Retirement.

I Know The War In Iraq Is Controversial In The States, But For Us In The Middle East It Has Made A Great And Significant Impact.

I Don't Want To Block Every Contact With The Palestinians, I Think That Would Be A Mistake, And I Think That Abu Mazen Has An Independent Status As Democratically Elected Head Of The Palestinian People, And It's Important If I Will Talk With Him.
