Yitzhak Rabin
I considered the prevention of war as the test of our security policy in addition to being able to rapidly and forcefully end any war forced upon us.

You don't make friends with friends. You have got to make friends with your enemies.

Military cemeteries in every corner of the world are silent testimony to the failure of national leaders to sanctify human life.
Yitzhak Rabin
Only the change on the international scene, the crisis in the gulf, and the strong, firm position of the United States against aggression between two Arab countries created realities that led to the Madrid Peace Conference.
Yitzhak Rabin
Peace with Syria would provide more security than a few settlements on the Golan.
