More quotes by Yitzhak Rabin
I enter negotiations with Chairman Arafat, the leader of the PLO, the representative of the Palestinian people, with the purpose to have coexistence between our two entities, Israel as a Jewish state and Palestinian state, entity, next to us, living in peace.
Yitzhak Rabin
Syria doesn't want to talk with us on a bilateral basis, only under the auspices of the United States.
Yitzhak Rabin
I would like Israel to be a Jewish state, and therefore not to annex over 2 million Palestinians who live in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip to Israel, which will make Israel a bi-national state.
Yitzhak Rabin
Vis a vis the Golan Heights, the present government of Israel, under my leadership, is the first government that is ready to speak about a withdrawal.
Yitzhak Rabin
The struggle to get weapons is continuous, but the United States will aid us, if it finds Israel displaying a willingness for peace.
Yitzhak Rabin
[Israel will] create in the course of the next 10 or 20 years conditions which would attract natural and voluntary migration of the refugees from the Gaza Strip and the west Bank to Jordan. To achieve this we have to come to agreement with King Hussein and not with Yasser Arafat.
Yitzhak Rabin
We'll fight terror like there's no peace, and make peace like there's no terror.
Yitzhak Rabin
Steps toward a rapprochement between Israel and the Arab states create a process that turns economics into the moving force that shapes the regional relations instead of nationalist interests that were dominant in the past.
Yitzhak Rabin
I believe that it is my responsibility as the prime minister of Israel to do whatever can be done to exploit the unique opportunities that lie ahead of us to move towards peace. Not everything can be done by one act.
Yitzhak Rabin
We will not rest until we reach a permanent agreement [with the Palestinians] that would secure a safe future for our children and that would provide us with renewed hope to live in a region where people lead a life of co-operation and not, God forbid, where blood is shed.
Yitzhak Rabin
Peace with Syria would provide more security than a few settlements on the Golan.
Yitzhak Rabin
You don't make friends with friends. You have got to make friends with your enemies.
Yitzhak Rabin
There is no way of finding the middle ground, even with the best intentions of the world. Our most sensible policy is to stall.
Yitzhak Rabin
It is not worth the paper it is written on unless it is backed by the kind of force that will make the other side consider the penalties too heavy to break the agreement.
Yitzhak Rabin
If you have the same problem for a long time, maybe it's not a problem. Maybe it's a fact.
Yitzhak Rabin
The Government chose to give peace a chance. The Government chose to do something to achieve it.
Yitzhak Rabin
I admire King Hussein his courage in leading his country for a long time.
Yitzhak Rabin
It is the duty of the government to guarantee maximum security, and this is not an easy task.
Yitzhak Rabin
I am healthy. I wish all my colleagues to the peace process to be healthy.
Yitzhak Rabin
The use of force, including beatings, undoubtedly has brought about the impact we wanted - strengthening the [occupied] population's fear of the Israeli Defense Forces.
