The biggest collapse is the culture of lies and the culture of the media's glorifying regimes.

That is absolutely nonsense, ... Those kinds of statements are not helpful.

It's going to antagonize not only the Palestinians but the Arab world,

You negotiate with us not around the table, but with bullets,

The second step should be, as President Clinton announced, is really the resumption of the peace process,

We conveyed to President Clinton our acceptance in principle to the proposal ... with our own explanations and interpretations of those proposals in relation to all the issues,

We said we accept the Mitchell report -- we accept it and we need to implement it completely.

To use Apache helicopters to fire missiles at civilian quarters, that's a violation of international law. To destroy homes over its inhabitants, that's a violation of international law. Not to allow humanitarian aid for 14 days to arrive to wounded people, that is a violation of international humanitarian law,

Those (Israeli) allegations are baseless. Not true. We have turned over a complete security plan to the Americans. The Americans approved it. We worked together on it. They were happy with it. President Clinton himself approved it and was satisfied with it.
