Richard Boucher Believe Quotations

We've seen some positive steps so far. And we also believe that, as the Palestinians continue to take serious steps against the violence, that the Israelis, in fact, should take steps to ease the restrictions on the Palestinians.

We fully believe that General Un should be commended for the courageous efforts to investigate this brothel and other brothels,

first step towards the end to violence and terror. It needs to be followed by other steps to dismantle the capabilities. But we certainly believe that that could be a useful step to see in the coming days.

The Israelis need to understand that incursions like this will not solve the security problems. They only make matters worse. As a consequence, we believe the Israelis should withdraw their forces from this area.
