Therefore, we are trying to hold dialogue with all groups of the Israeli society.’ Likewise, he noted that he makes sure to meet with the Jewish communities in every city in the world in order to discuss the common base for the establishment of peace, as there is no other option, and that none of us can cancel the other’s existence, come what may…

This is an opportunity for Israeli society to live in stability with its neighbors, without walls, and without isolation.’ He also said: ‘A just solution to the Palestinian problem will guarantee the end of all forms of terror, and deprive the extremists who use the Palestinian cause of the excuse for spreading terror and killing. We do not want ISIS, [Jabhat] Al-Nusra, Al-Qaeda, and others to come here, and therefore we must establish peace and put an end to the occupation’…”
