For Me, Jerusalem Was United,

Peace Is Not Made With Friends. Peace Is Made With Enemies.

We Will Not Rest Until We Reach A Permanent Agreement [with The Palestinians] That Would Secure A Safe Future For Our Children And That Would Provide Us With Renewed Hope To Live In A Region Where People Lead A Life Of Co-operation And Not, God Forbid, Where Blood Is Shed.

For Me, Jerusalem Was United, Will Be Under Israel Sovereignty, Will Be The Capital Of Israel And The Heart Of The Jewish People.

I, Serial Number 30743, Lieutenant General In Reserves Yitzhak Rabin, A Soldier In The Israeli Defense Forces And In The Army Of Peace, I, Who Have Sent Armies Into Fire And Soldiers To Their Death, Say Today: We Sail Onto A War Which Has No Casualties, No Wounded, No Blood Nor Suffering. It Is The Only War Which Is A Pleasure To Participate In - The War For Peace.

I Considered The Prevention Of War As The Test Of Our Security Policy; In Addition To Being Able To Rapidly And Forcefully End Any War Forced Upon Us.
