I never thought that Syria and Israel should engage in a violent confrontation because I don't think that there is any particular interest for any of us to do it.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
Who thinks seriously that if we sit on another hilltop, on another hundred meters, that this is what will make the difference for the state of Israel's basic security?
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
I am focused on what needs to be done for the people of Israel. Period. I do not pity myself and I do not pat myself on the shoulder. I get up in the morning full of energy to fulfill my mission.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
I think the attempt to draw a comparison between Iran and Syria is false, misleading and dangerous.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
For me to propose a division of Jerusalem was really terrible. I did it because I reached a conclusion that without which there will not be peace.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
I don't know that there is one serious American representative that will advise Israel to sit with a terrorist government and negotiate with them.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
There is nothing that I'd love to do more than negotiate with Palestinians. This is my desire. This is my dream. This is my mission.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
There is a Western world. There is America. There is Great Britain and Germany and France and Russia and China and other nations. I doubt that there is one country amongst those I mentioned which has a desire to see Iran, with its fundamentalist, Islamic, extremist government, possessing nuclear weapons.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
A prime minister has to keep a certain balance when dealing with sensitive issues.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
It is important that democracy in Lebanon is protected and that Hezbollah will not be supported by outside forces like Syria and Iran.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
Growing up in Israel, how can I not be an optimist? When you remember what Israel was 50 years ago and you see Israel now, one of the most successful countries in the world, stable, democratic, with an enormously stable economy despite everything that has happened in the global economy in the last few years, how can I not be an optimist?
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
When the President of Iran talks about removing Israel from the face of the Earth and is building nuclear bombs with a range of 3000km, you have to be worried.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
Every prime minister ... has the responsibility to provide security for his people.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
The military operation in Lebanon was the most successful military operation in recent Israeli history. Many in Israel don't recognise that.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
How are fears born? They are born because of differences in tradition and history; they are born because of differences in emotional, political and national circumstances. Because of such differences, people fear they cannot live together.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
The newspapers are always reminding the public that I am an unpopular prime minister.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
Terrorist groups and their extremist state sponsors cannot be fought with kid gloves and flowery words of persuasion. As the U.S. has displayed in Afghanistan and in Iraq, only a vigilant and determined campaign of confrontation can deter and obstruct them.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
Assad is the president of Syria. He enjoys fairly effective control over his country.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
Already at the time of Israel's birth, Ben-Gurion extended his hand in peace to the Arab nations. His hand was rejected, but it remains extended.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
There were certain people who were out to get me. I know who those people were. They exist, believe me. They know that I know. They spent millions of dollars in order to try to get rid of me. I'm happy they lost most of their money.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
From the end of 2006 until the end of 2008 I think I met with Abu Mazen more often than any Israeli leader has ever met any Arab leader. I met him more than 35 times. They were intense, serious negotiations.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
Israel stands proudly at the forefront of international achievement. The world's leading corporations - Google, Intel and Motorola, to name but a few - maintain research and development facilities here, and our technology start-ups continue to be acquired by the likes of AOL, eBay and IBM.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
I want to arrive at the possibility of peace with the Syrians, and when I believe that the conditions are right, I will not miss the opportunity.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
Have I made mistakes in my many years of political activity? Of course! I am sorry and regret them.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
Throughout the second intifada, America provided unprecedented support for Israel's struggle against Palestinian terrorism and Israel's construction of the security barrier.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
The Palestinians are facing a historic junction at which they will have to decide whether they want to remain stuck in a corner of extreme fundamentalism, which will cut them off from the entire world, or whether they are ready to take the necessary steps. My role is to assist in building this process.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
The legacies of Menachem Begin and Anwar Sadat, of Yitzhak Rabin and King Hussein, stand as an inspiration for all who work for peace.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
As one of the participants in the Aqaba summit, I can testify that Israel fully expected the Palestinian Authority's newly reorganized and trained security agencies to take harsh action against the rejectionists who sought to wreck the peace process.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
The values of democracy, brotherhood, and freedom that constitute the building blocks of American society are also shared by Israeli society, together with the faith in man's power and ability to change and influence his surroundings.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
Promoting tolerance and human dignity is one of mankind's unfinished challenges.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
There is an alliance between Israel and the United States, and it has never been stronger than at the time of George W. Bush.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
I have reached a conclusion that when we have to make a choice between greater Israel or a Jewish democratic state - and we have to make this choice, it is inevitable - then my choice is a Jewish democratic country.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
When public figures write memoirs, there is always some indecision regarding how much they want to write of things as they were and how much they want to cut corners to avoid riling up others. I decided to write my memoirs exactly as they were, and I will not digress - not when things are ill at ease and not when they are comfortable.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
As a citizen of a democratic state, I have always believed that when a prime minister is elected in Israel, even those who voted against him at the polls are obligated to desire his success.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
We must give up Arab neighborhoods in Jerusalem and return to the core of the territory that is the State of Israel prior to 1967, with minor corrections dictated by the reality created since then.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
Political leaders can help change the psychological climate which affects the quality of relationships among people.
Quote by -Ehud Olmert
What's the logic of investing millions in agriculture if it will not pay off?
