Why are you making the settlers give up their homes?



The explicit answer is that nobody has been asked to give up his home. Contrary to Camp David, we conducted negotiations that do not require the evacuation of even one settlement.

The edifice we are building is based on a change in relations, not necessarily a change in locations. If the two sides were to develop a different relationship, the whole problem would take on a totally different form. Hatred would give way to understanding. If relations improve, there will be no problem. If relations continue as they are, there will be no solution.
