Ehud Barak Agreement Quotations

We found in Egypt a listening ear to the complexity of the problem, ... I clarified that we are ready to do what is necessary to achieve an agreement, but we have important interests, and an agreement will only be achieved if the other side demonstrates openness, seriousness and responsibility.

We need to make sure that if it's possible, under these difficult circumstances, we can reach an agreement, which maintains our safety and interests. We must do everything to make that happen,

sign an agreement that I don't think is good.

I don't believe there will be an agreement by the elections,

without an agreement ... because after serious discussions we discovered the other side did not act like real partners for peace.

We must part from the Palestinians. It is one of our highest priorities to do so in an agreement, but we will have to prepare to do so without an agreement if it becomes clear that the Palestinians are not interested in an agreement,

The government under my authority will not accept any agreement in any form that will recognize ... the right of return. Period ... I do not intend to sign any document that will transfer sovereignty over the Temple Mount to Palestinians,

We will stand firm fighting against terror until the circumstances will become right for resumption of negotiations, ... It's only negotiations and peaceful agreement that will solve the problem from its very roots.

Once there will be an agreement, if and when there will be an agreement, the enthusiasm within the people to accept it, even if it is a painful one, once it puts an end to the conflict I believe the Knesset will be with us and if not we will know what to do,

Once it becomes clear that there is only a slight opening for an agreement with Syria, we move forward to implement our pullout from Lebanon.

implement a peace agreement with Arafat behind closed doors.
