I hope that I have had some effect on the fact that Israel is a start-up nation.

When my grandchildren are older and my great-grandchildren start growing up, first of all, I want them to be in Israel. I don't want them to leave the country because they have no choice.

I can unite the people of Israel, so I won't speak about controversial issues, which divide the people.

I hope that
they are happy up there, ... When I return to Israel,
I'll go to the memorial place to show them the gold medal.

I hope that memory is valued - that we do not lose memory.

I hope that one of my legacies, and I worked to pass it on, is moderation in politics.
