Sharon's decision to put Israel's security in the hands of the Egyptian army, instead of the IDF, is yet another mistake that will give a prize to terror and allow weapons to arm the terrorist infrastructure that will be built in Gaza.

I want to remind you that these elections will be decided by Israeli citizens and not by foreigners and certainly not by the Palestinians.

We have to break the siege on Jerusalem. There is a battle for Jerusalem. Sharon has frozen the building here and prevented the creation of a greater Jerusalem. Instead, he is enabling the creation of a greater Palestine.

In the frameworks of a peace agreement, a government under my leadership would agree to make real territorial concessions but will not compromise our security borders. We want there to be less friction. We want to remove outposts to help the Palestinian population. We will not reoccupy the Palestinian population.

“Whoever thinks that they can damage the daily lives of residents of the south, and that they won’t pay a heavy price for this – they are mistaken.”

Peace in return for peace.
