“We don’t point a pistol at our own forehead. That is not the way to conduct negotiations.”

The right combination is between a free economy and social policy that addresses the needs of society and creates equal opportunity.

I think they’re timid, they’re afraid to actually stand up to these killers. And I think that they’re afraid, maybe for their own sake, for their own political hides, sometimes for their own physical safety. And they don’t take that necessary plunge.

I’m not intervening in Syria. But at the same time, if Syria tries to intervene with us, if Iran tries to use Syria to attack us, we’ll stop it.

You can make peace with an enemy, if the enemy abandons the idea of destroying you. That is the critical test. Democracies fail to understand what I just said.

If there is willingness on the Palestinian side to reach an agreement, it is possible. We are conducting the negotiations with goodwill.

We want there to be less friction. We want to remove outposts to help the Palestinian population. We will not reoccupy the Palestinian population.

American leaders worry about the security of their country. Israeli leaders worry about the survival of their country.

I don’t want a single state. And I talked about two states where a demilitarized Palestinian state recognizes the Jewish state, and I stand by that. I haven’t retracted my position; I haven’t changed it.

Donald Trump feels very warmly about the Jewish state, about the Jewish people and about Jewish people. There’s no question about that.

First of all, Arafat is wrong. Jerusalem is Israel’s capital, will never be divided, and will remain the capital of the State of Israel, the capital of the Jewish people, for ever and ever.

If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more ‎violence. If the Jews put ‎down their weapons ‎today, there would be no ‎more Israel’‎

I am certain that I speak on behalf of my entire nation when I say: Today, we are all Americans. In grief, as in defiance.

We are using missile defense to protect our civilians, and they’re using their civilians to protect their missiles.

The people of Israel will have to be convinced that the Palestinians are ready for peace.

Throw people from the sixth floor, their own people. … They’re the enemies of peace, they’re the enemies of Israel, they’re the enemies of all civilized countries. And I believe they’re the enemies of the Palestinians themselves.

I don’t think that anyone should doubt Israel’s determination to defend itself against terror and destruction.

Negotiation builds a team as well as a set of requirements.

Given a fair wind, we will negotiate our way into the Common Market, head held high, not crawling in. Negotiations? Yes. Unconditional acceptance of whatever terms are offered us? No.

One of my roles was as a commercial manager for liquid natural gas shipping, project economics and contract negotiation.

I have to be involved in negotiations because players have to buy into me and what I want from them if they join my club, so all managers need to be fully involved in transfers, that’s for sure.

One has to work for years and decades, to conduct negotiations.

Negotiation talks are the best way to solve anything. We must replace wars and weapons with negotiations and talks.

In a society like this there is no negotiation, no discussion, except to tell you that power can crush you any time they want — not only you, your whole family and all people like you.

I refuse to be released on the basis of a ‘condition for negotiations’ and I will not accept the price for my freedom to be several meters of the land of Palestine, the land that we have fought for and been imprisoned for.
