I'm trying to learn the lessons of the past, but not to make speeches about the past.

In the midst of fighting there is no place for public debate.

Let the Palestinians run their affairs: create a situation in which no Israeli soldier will have to maintain public order, whether in Gaza or the West Bank. Let's give it to the Palestinians, as long as there is security for us. No more occupying another people.
