More quotes by Ehud Olmert
I want to arrive at the possibility of peace with the Syrians, and when I believe that the conditions are right, I will not miss the opportunity.
Ehud Olmert
The Palestinians are facing a historic junction at which they will have to decide whether they want to remain stuck in a corner of extreme fundamentalism, which will cut them off from the entire world, or whether they are ready to take the necessary steps. My role is to assist in building this process.
Ehud Olmert
Israeli lives are worth more than Palestinian ones.
Ehud Olmert
I have to think about the possible ramifications of an early retirement.
Ehud Olmert
I think the attempt to draw a comparison between Iran and Syria is false, misleading and dangerous.
Ehud Olmert
There is nothing that I'd love to do more than negotiate with Palestinians. This is my desire. This is my dream. This is my mission.
Ehud Olmert
I dont know that there is one serious American representative that will advise Israel to sit with a terrorist government and negotiate with them.
Ehud Olmert
When the President of Iran talks about removing Israel from the face of the Earth and is building nuclear bombs with a range of 3000km, you have to be worried.
Ehud Olmert
We are tired of fighting, we are tired of being courageous, we are tired of winning, we are tired of defeating our enemies, we want that we will be able to live in an entirely different environment of relations with our enemies.
Ehud Olmert
Growing up in Israel, how can I not be an optimist? When you remember what Israel was 50 years ago and you see Israel now, one of the most successful countries in the world, stable, democratic, with an enormously stable economy despite everything that has happened in the global economy in the last few years, how can I not be an optimist?
Ehud Olmert
I don't want to block every contact with the Palestinians, I think that would be a mistake, and I think that Abu Mazen has an independent status as democratically elected head of the Palestinian people, and it's important if I will talk with him.
Ehud Olmert
There were certain people who were out to get me. I know who those people were. They exist, believe me. They know that I know. They spent millions of dollars in order to try to get rid of me. I'm happy they lost most of their money.
Ehud Olmert
If the day comes when the two-state solution collapses, and we face a South African-style struggle for equal voting rights (also for the Palestinians in the territories), then, as soon as that happens, the State of Israel is finished.
Ehud Olmert
I sometimes feel tired. But there are so many reasons for being tired.
Ehud Olmert
I know I'm unpopular.
Ehud Olmert
It is important that democracy in Lebanon is protected and that Hezbollah will not be supported by outside forces like Syria and Iran.
Ehud Olmert
The formula for the parameters of a unilateral solution are: To maximize the number of Jews to minimize the number of Palestinians not to withdraw to the 1967 border and not to divide Jerusalem.
Ehud Olmert
A prime minister must not promise things that can't be fulfilled.
Ehud Olmert
I never thought that Syria and Israel should engage in a violent confrontation because I don't think that there is any particular interest for any of us to do it.
Ehud Olmert
How are fears born? They are born because of differences in tradition and history they are born because of differences in emotional, political and national circumstances. Because of such differences, people fear they cannot live together.
Ehud Olmert
