More quotes by Yitzhak Rabin
I admire King Hussein his courage in leading his country for a long time.
Yitzhak Rabin
We are committed to free access and free practice, to the members of the other two religions, to the holy shrines in Jerusalem. To the Muslims, to the Christians.
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
It is the duty of the government to guarantee maximum security, and this is not an easy task.
Yitzhak Rabin
We did not think that [Egyptian President] Nasser wanted war. The two divisions he sent to Sinai on May 14 would not have been sufficient to launch an offensive against Israel. He knew it and we knew it.
Yitzhak Rabin
We will not leave the Golan Heights, not even in exchange for a peace treaty. We will be ready for a limited compromise and it does not have to be in territorial terms.
Yitzhak Rabin
Peace with Syria would provide more security than a few settlements on the Golan.
Yitzhak Rabin
We accept every form or way to talk to the Syrians how to achieve peace.
Yitzhak Rabin
Israel is no longer a people that dwells alone, and has to join the global journey toward peace, reconciliation and international cooperation.
Yitzhak Rabin
We can continue to fight. We can continue to kill - and continue to be killed. But we can also try to put a stop to this never-ending cycle of blood. We can also give peace a chance.
Yitzhak Rabin
Enough of blood and tears. Enough!
Yitzhak Rabin
I believe that in the long run, separation between Israel and the Palestinians is the best solution for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
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
We'll fight terror like there's no peace, and make peace like there's no terror.
Yitzhak Rabin
The negotiations must address all aspects, both peace and withdrawal.
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
Peace is not made with friends. Peace is made with enemies.
Yitzhak Rabin
We are ready to compromise. We are ready to take calculated risks, but for a peace that will give us security.
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
I think the fact that we have been focussing on politics quite a lot and the tumult of politics rather than what we should be doing in terms of policy has made, I think, voters quite grumpy.
