Silvan Shalom Relations Quotations

I am trying very hard to improve relations with the Arab and the Muslim world,

I am sure that this meeting will be followed by more meetings in the future. We hope that finally it will lead to full diplomatic relations with Pakistan as we would like it with all Muslim and Arab countries.

We made a huge breakthrough today..., ... This is the appropriate time for all the Muslim and Arab countries to reconsider their relations with Israel. We think it will be a very positive signal to Israeli and Palestinian public opinion that there are some fruits from this withdrawal from Gaza.

The iron wall ... Relations are growing at a rate never seen before.

I think that this is the appropriate time for all the Muslim and Arab countries to reconsider their relations with Israel, ... I think that it will be a very positive signal to the Israeli public opinion and to the Palestinian public opinion that there are some fruits from this withdrawal from Gaza.

finally lead to a full diplomatic relationship with Pakistan as we would like to see with all Arab countries, but of course it needs to be done step by step.

These are optimistic times in the Middle East. The iron wall that has defined Israel's relations with most of the Arab and Muslim world for generations is coming down,

She's coming also to try and narrow the gap between Israel and the Palestinians and to help us strengthen our relations with the Arab and Muslim world.

I think there was a very major breakthrough today in the relations between us and Pakistan,

I very much hope that those same good relations with the governments of the Arab world will lead to contacts with the people themselves.
