This is a difficult situation that we are not accustomed to.

The current situation cannot last,

I've been mayor of the city of Jerusalem, which is perhaps, in some ways, more complex and more difficult than a ministerial position.

I was not interested in being minister of defense or minister of foreign affairs.

I'm not expressing any ultimatum. If we reach the conclusion that the Palestinians are not prepared to meet the requirements that lead to negotiations, we will then move forward without getting a negotiating process. We are ready to change. We are not prepared to wait forever.

Stopping all the violent and hostile actions means ending the smuggling of arms into the Gaza territory.
