I Admire King Hussein His Courage In

Vis A Vis The Golan Heights, The Present Government Of Israel, Under My Leadership, Is The First Government That Is Ready To Speak About A Withdrawal.

I Was A Military Man For 27 Years. I Fought So Long As There Was No Chance For Peace. I Believe That There Is Now A Chance For Peace, A Great Chance. We Must Take Advantage Of It For The Sake Of Those Standing Here, And For Those Who Are Not Here - And They Are Many.

We Appreciate The Efforts Of The United States, Of The President, Of The Secretary Of State, And We Are Ready To Find Any Form Of Talks, But We Have To Overcome The Differences Between Syria And Israel To Reach Peace.

I Believe However That Peace Is Attainable Regardless Of The Arabs Mentality, Society Or Government.

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.
