For years you have been trying to make contact with important Arabs in order to enhance the prospects of peace.
Yes, all the time. In 60 years, we have had to face seven wars, outgunned, outmanned, outnumbered. And we won them all. But we never gave up the search for peace.
Is your country going to have to send its military forces into Gaza in order to protect its citizens from the rockets that keep falling?
No, I think the ones who will change the situation in Gaza will be the people of Gaza.
They are getting tired of Hamas. They say, 'What the hell are you doing to us?' They are looking for a cease-fire.
Some argue that Hamas is looking for a cease-fire so that it can rearm.
They are rearming themselves without the cease-fire.
So you think the people in Gaza are getting sick of Hamas.
Eventually, yes. Because Hamas is no solution.
Do you worry for your country on the eve of the 60th anniversary when there is such a scandal around your prime minister?
The prime minister is innocent until shown otherwise. But, what shall I say? Better a democracy with scandals than an authoritarian system without scandals.
What do you believe should be done about Iran's nuclear program?
