The resolution of that conflict is in the interest of both the Israelis and the Palestinians and on the merits of the conflict itself.

The route to an independent state runs through a negotiated agreement with Israel.

Secretary Kerry, President Obama didn't drag anybody to a peace table. The Israelis and the Palestinians both wanted to be there from the beginning.

To secure its future as a Jewish and Democratic state, a viable independent and, yes, demilitarized Palestinian state must be realized.

Should the Palestinians, in the context of the current negotiations, recognize Israel as a Jewish state, as a state in the context of mutuality of recognition? And the answer is absolutely 'yes.'

The threat of a nuclear-armed Iran is in and of itself, in my humble estimation, the most important endeavor that we must seek to defang, to defeat.

It would be a mistake if we joined the two together, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the Iranian nuclear program.

It should be peace and, when not peace, at least security.

When given the choice of the two teams that unfortunately we have at this point, if there becomes a third team or a fourth, then let's go for it.

I would agree that no American taxpayer's money should be going to fund terrorist families directly or indirectly.

There are forces within the Palestinian society that, in fact, support violence in a very overt way.
