Peace with Syria would provide more security than a few settlements on the Golan.
Yitzhak Rabin
Image
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.
Yitzhak Rabin
Image
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.

The struggle to get weapons is continuous, but the United States will aid us, if it finds Israel displaying a willingness for peace.
