For the good of Israel, the date of March 7 (for general elections) cannot be delayed.

I'm letting him choose between late February and late March.

I will let him decide the date within the period of the end of February and the end of March. Any date he decides is okay with me.

I believe the motion ... next Monday will pass by a large majority. I hope very much that (before then) on Thursday I can reach an agreement with the prime minister.

All I ask is for the prime minister to explain the meaning behind delaying our meeting.

I have no intention of letting Sharon play the political scene as if it were his private hunting ground. With all the respect I have for him, this era is over.
