Peace should be Israel’s strategy.

Peace is the key factor in sustaining security.

Peace is the key for Israel’s survival.

Peace in the Middle East requires vision and boldness.

Peace is a precious commodity. Like any other precious commodity it is expensive. Those who wish peace should be willing to pay and sacrifice for it.

Peace pact should be fair and just for all signatories, otherwise its worth is no more than a piece of paper.

Security and peace for Israel and Palestine: Two states for two nations.

Two-state solution is the only solution that would keep Israel viable, Jewish and democratic.

Peace is hard to achieve; but its achievement is worth every effort, every dime, every sleepless night of coffee and deliberations.

Law is mainly concerned with the security of rights. It is conducive to liberty and security of the person. The dangers of law lie in its inflexibility, rigidity and stagnation.
