Ya'alon: Conflict Is Rooted in Denial of Jewish State, Not Settlements
(Times of Israel) Rebecca Shimoni Stoil - Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon said at the U.S. National Defense University on Tuesday: "Israel is aspiring for peace. As one who has experienced wars, I am anxious to have peace. I can tell you personally that I supported Oslo. I thought compromise might be a good idea to reach peace and tranquility. Unfortunately neither Yasser Arafat at that time and Abu Mazen [Abbas] today...even those two who are considered relatively moderate in the West, are not ready to recognize our right to exist as the nation state of the Jewish people."
