What is the alternative? ... There is no alternative. The only alternative you can give is stalemate.

This clears the stalemate we have had in terms of process,

There is no place for crisis or delay, ... Each side has to do its homework ... Israel keeps and will keep the agreement.

The Syrians should stop hesitating. If they really want peace, there's no better way than direct talks -- face to face. We hope to have that happen as soon as possible.

There was no alternative. You can see all these idiots on camera.

We had absolute military superiority but they had absolute political supremacy. That led to a stalemate - and that became the governing issue.
