The red line must be drawn on Iran's nuclear enrichment program because these enrichment facilities are the only nuclear installations that we can definitely see and credibly target.
Quote by -Ehud Barak
Ladies and gentlemen, the relevant question is not when Iran will get the bomb. The relevant question is at what stage can we no longer stop Iran from getting the bomb.
Quote by -Ehud Barak
I'm such a failed politician that all of my rivals have disappeared, on both sides.
Quote by -Ehud Barak
The Palestinian Authority cannot hold the stick at both ends: to incite violence, to participate in it, and to tell the world how - what kind of underdog they are.
Quote by -Ehud Barak
I'm in the government to make sure that if there's an opportunity to make peace, it won't be missed.
Quote by -Ehud Barak
There is no entity in the world that will dare attack Israel with chemical weapons.
Quote by -Ehud Barak
The Syrian rebels, weakened by infighting, have also been victims of the growing rift between the U.S. and its closest Arab allies.
Quote by -Ehud Barak
If I were a Palestinian of the right age, I'd eventually join one of the terrorist organizations.
Quote by -Ehud Barak
I became a prime minister within four-and-a-half years, the shortest kind of career ever in Israeli political history.
Quote by -Ehud Barak
If Israel does not find the way to disengage from the Palestinians, its future might resemble the experience of Belfast or Bosnia - two communities bleeding each other to death for generations.
Quote by -Ehud Barak
Israel is the strongest nation in the Middle East, but we have to apply our strength wisely.
Quote by -Ehud Barak
I delivered lectures, and I was also a consultant for international companies in finance, both private equity and big venture capital funds.
Quote by -Ehud Barak
Saddam Hussein has set an example of defiance, especially against the first President Bush, that other Arab leaders cannot and should not emulate; the example leads only to empty gestures and developmental stagnation, both of which the Arab nations have had enough of already.
Quote by -Ehud Barak
Israel will continue to act proactively to prevent the transfer of heavy missiles or advanced air defense systems from Syria to Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, which, of course, carries the risk of a military showdown.
Quote by -Ehud Barak
International legitimacy is a fundamental source of power for Israel nowadays.
Quote by -Ehud Barak
The first intifada, I was then commander of Central Command, commanding the West Bank, basically. And I know to what extent the first intifada was a popular uprising.
Quote by -Ehud Barak
I cannot penetrate the soul of Arafat. I cannot know in advance whether, behind all the masks, he's the kind of leader who can reach an agreement or whether he wants to be the Moses of the Palestinians, staying in front of the river and not crossing into the promised land.
Quote by -Ehud Barak
An independent, strong, thriving and peaceful State of Israel is the vengeance of the dead.
Quote by -Ehud Barak
I do not believe the efforts of the international community to stop Iran's nuclear program will bear fruit.
Quote by -Ehud Barak
I'm no wealthier than Bibi Netanyahu or Arik Sharon. I don't feel that I'm more hedonistic than Ehud Olmert, or Yitzhak Rabin or Shimon Peres.
Quote by -Ehud Barak
As prime minister, I was the Israeli leader who walked the greatest distance in his offers to the Palestinians.
Quote by -Ehud Barak
I think that Jordan is strong. I think that they will hold on. I believe that they've already opened their parliament and their system, the press and others, to many voices... And I hope and wish that they will remain stable for a long time.
Quote by -Ehud Barak
To think that you can - as a Zionist, Jewish independent state at the end of the 20th century - rule over another people for generations without having any consequences - it's ridiculous.
Quote by -Ehud Barak
War is no picnic. Wars should be prevented, and if you can't prevent them, you have to put them off.
Quote by -Ehud Barak
I don't think that the Iranians, even if they got the bomb, they're going to drop it immediately on some neighbor. They fully understand what might follow. They're radical, but not total mishuginas.
Quote by -Ehud Barak
As long as in this territory west of the Jordan river there is only one political entity called Israel, it is going to be either non-Jewish or non-democratic. If this bloc of millions of Palestinians cannot vote, that will be an apartheid state.
Quote by -Ehud Barak
In Israel, generally speaking, politics is much more familiar than any other place. We all know each other.
Quote by -Ehud Barak
Since the Six-Day War, the whole world, which is the real arena of battle between us and the Palestinians, believes that Israel is right in regard to procedure, namely problems and disputes should be solved around the negotiating table.
