I believe that we can live together with the Palestinians, ... I came here to the holiest place of the Jewish people in order to see what happens here and really to have the feeling of how we need to move forward. There was no provocation here.

I believe that I'll be presenting a plan, a serious plan, maybe the most serious that has been presented by now -- how to reach peace in the Middle East, how to reach peace between us and the Palestinians,

You can not like the word, but what is happening is an occupation -- to hold 3.5 million Palestinians under occupation. I believe that is a terrible thing for Israel and for the Palestinians.

Evacuating the Gaza Strip is a plan that will be carried out and all orders have been given to ensure that there will be no fire at the time of the evacuation, and I believe not after that either,

That will of course enable us to come forward with a different peace plan. I believe we will be able to wreak peace. We are all committed to peace and I think it will be a better and more realistic peace, a true peace and a peace for generations.

Most of the conversation focused on Gaza and they (the Americans) believe that events in Gaza will dictate the future of the peace process,

We believe only in deeds and acts and not in declarations. We are fed up with all those declarations, promises ..
