There are many Palestinians, to be diplomatic, who believe there is no way to recognize Israel as a Jewish state, first of all, and there are a lot of people that believe there is no way to recognize Israel at all.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
There is a difficulty in combating the type of terror that is perpetrated by groups of radical Jews. It's terror from within, and it is difficult to bring these perpetrators to justice; we need to create tools in order to combat this style of terrorism.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
Terror is terror is terror, and it doesn't matter what nationality that terror belongs to.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
I am not someone who will cancel plans because of personal danger, because I'm really not afraid.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
Jewish and Arab neighborhoods in Jerusalem are interlaced one with the other.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
Jerusalem is the united capital of Israel. Since 1967, anyone can practice his religion according to his own conscience and complete free will.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
I want to thank the American people - on both sides of the aisle - for years of financial, diplomatic, and military support, and for helping us carry the burden of defense.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
There's no doubt we'd be very angry if the American president had come to the Knesset and argued against the government of Israel.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
Israel's foreign policy has three points: the relationship with the U.S., the relationship with the U.S., and the relationship with the U.S.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
I pray that we learn to live together. That Jerusalem is one, with law and order.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
There is a conflict in the Middle East between two entities, and they're both right, each in their own way.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
As a rule, whenever I hear about a demographic threat, it comes first of all from a type of thinking that says the Arabs are a threat. And this leads to thinking of transfer or that they should be killed. I am appalled by this kind of talk.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
The burden is on the Jewish majority in Israel to prove that the definition of their country as Jewish and democratic is not a contradiction.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
One could establish a system in one state in which Judea and Samaria are jointly held. The Jews would vote for a Jewish parliament and the Palestinians for an Arab parliament, and we would create a system in which life is shared.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
There are many Palestinians who believe there is no way to recognize Israel as a Jewish state. They call for the right of the return of refugees to Israel - something which is unacceptable for the consensus in Israel and which strikes at the very heart of this issue.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
There will never be peace unless we have open borders. But that does not mean open on our side and you continue to hit me on the other.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
I don't see any possibility of peace if there won't be open borders between us and our neighbors.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
I see myself as a former politician, and in that capacity, I say to other politicians, 'Hold back.'
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
We are not fighting against the Palestinian people, and we are not at war with Islam. We are fighting against terrorism.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
I wish to strengthen the hand of the Prime Minister and the heads of the security agencies in the unrelenting battle for our right to maintain normal daily life in every place in Israel.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
It's preferable for the Palestinians to become citizens of the state than for us to divide the country.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
We need a broad government which will make decisions, but not a national unity government, because we are divided from within.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
Many of Israel's Arabs, which see themselves as part of the Palestinian population, feel the pain of their brothers across the green line - a pain they feel the state of Israel is responsible for.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
Israel is proud to be Jordan's partner and to stand at Jordan's side in promoting stability and quiet to our entire region.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
Whereas, in the personal realm, Sharon is a very sensitive person whose eyes often grow moist, in the national realm, he is entirely without emotions.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
The idea that the State of Israel could be democracy only for its Jewish citizens is unconscionable, and we must find a way to address this.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
We demand that people don't deny the Holocaust, and we can't ignore the tragedy of another nation.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
Germany remains among the few countries in Europe to acknowledge, officially and nationally, its responsibility for the crimes it led against our people.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
As a Jew, even if you were not born in Poland, the very name, Poland, gives rise to a shuddering in your body and a longing in your heart. This country was the breeding ground for the soul of the Jewish nation, and unfortunately, also grounds to the largest Jewish cemetery.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
Direct talks is the only possible way to build trust and to resolve the conditions for a peace perspective between Palestinians and Israelis.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
There's no doubt that our hearts are with the residents of Gaza. We and the whole world are unable to get to a situation in which Gaza can be rehabilitated. There needs to be an international initiative with Israel's participation, in order to bring an end to the enmity against us.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
Disagreements will always occur between us, but we all approach them wanting the best for each and every one of us, for the whole people.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
It seems to me that many of the belligerent Jewish movements that were built upon hatred of Arabs - and I'm not only talking about Lieberman, but within the Likud as well - grew out of the patronizing socialist attitude that said, 'They'll be there, and we'll be here.'
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
Our ideals are under the constant threat of extremism, whether in the form of radical Muslim groups or the emergence of other elements seeking to deny the rights and freedoms of others.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
Today, there are those who hallucinate that a democratic and Jewish state is only democratic for the Jews.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
The Palestinians must understand that this is our home, to which we have returned, and we also have to understand that this is the homeland of all those born to it.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
Everyone needs to understand that we were meant to live together in this country. We have to get to know one another; even if we don't agree, we have to enable each side to express itself.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
We are living in a multicultural society. Our role as leaders is to enable grappling with this situation, even when multiculturalism is difficult.
Quote by -Reuven Rivlin
We must stay focused on the bilateral negotiations between the Palestinians and us.
