Amir Peretz Quotations

I would also stop all funding to expanding communities there, and only continue with the minimum aid needed to maintain the communities. Instead, we should put those funds into developing the Negev and Galilee, where we can expand opportunities for our youth.

I believe the motion ... next Monday will pass by a large majority. I hope very much that (before then) on Thursday I can reach an agreement with the prime minister.

There is a feeling that we should have had these voters all along. We stand for everything these developing communities need.

He (Sharon) also insisted that we must go to early elections as early as possible.

It is a clear and moral position that we cannot recognize a party that calls for Israel's destruction.

I think that there are a lot of people waiting for the moment that someone will fight for their right to make a living with respect, to grow old with respect.

I will let him decide the date within the period of the end of February and the end of March. Any date he decides is okay with me.

My revolution shows that the pyramid has overturned. Social democracy is at the top of my pyramid.

I think this split will serve our interests well. Bibi (Netanyahu) and Sharon will bash each other, and we will bring the message that the public needs.

We need a moral road map toward the end of the occupation and the signing of a permanent agreement. We will not rest until we have carried out (Rabin's) way.

Whoever wants to be in a coalition with us will have to take this into consideration. We're talking about the evacuation of 1,500 people, most of whom disregard the law and symbols of the rule of law, such as the army and police. The evacuation of illegal outposts is not negotiable, but we will certainly discuss ways of evacuation.

The problem is one day the magic is over. I don't intend to take on someone who is already in trouble.

We agreed on elections between the end of February and the end of March.

We will keep Jerusalem united and strong, with a Jewish majority and character.

Even if there is no partner for peace with the Palestinians. I will aim for a full and complete separation.

The time has come for us to stop paying attention to the pollsters. I will prove the pollsters wrong again.

This is the only team that knows what a social and economic agenda is. Here we have the team that will change the priorities of the state of Israel.

The issue of public concern is not Sharon's health but the health of Israeli society.

I'm letting him choose between late February and late March.

I'm letting him choose a date in that period between the end of February and the end of March and whatever date he chooses is acceptable to me. The earlier the better.

He can implement these things now, there is no need to wait until a new government is formed. Every day, it gets worse.

All I ask is for the prime minister to explain the meaning behind delaying our meeting.

The election is starting right now. This is the first phase of the election.

The law is the law, and we need to implement it. We promise to dismantle all illegal outposts within a year of my being elected prime minister. All 105 outposts will be dismantled.
