Israel is prepared to make painful concessions for a true peace. However, the government under my leadership will not be seduced into believing false promises which will endanger the security of the state of Israel,
It is true that this is not a shining path which will lead us to instant, magical solutions, but I am certain that only by going forward in this direction -- step by step -- will we be able to achieve security for the Israeli people, and reach the peace we all yearn for,
If the Palestinians choose the path of peace ... they will find me and my government a sincere and true partner, ... we will demand the Palestinians abandon the way of violence, terrorism and incitement.
That will of course enable us to come forward with a different peace plan. I believe we will be able to wreak peace. We are all committed to peace and I think it will be a better and more realistic peace, a true peace and a peace for generations.
