This visit is very important to us, ... Many celebrities have come to Israel, and we take very good care of our visitors.

I know everyone saw the pictures coming out of Israel as we took this courageous step. I think we need some time now to be among ourselves. What will happen now with the Sharon government needs international backing and help.

A process that the Israel government ... took upon itself in order to extend our hand in peace to the Palestinians. This is what Israel is willing to do in order to live in peace with the Palestinians.

Without doubt, this attack was committed by a lone Palestinian who was not part of any movement which will make the search for him more difficult,

I think and I hope that this attack does not mark the start of a wave of terrorism,

It is our obligation to free them from the clutches of evil, evil that has no boundaries,
