Mark Regev Move Quotations

We have to move ahead on the crossings issue by balancing the very real security threats with the desire to allow for maximum possible movement of people and goods.

We want to send a very clear and unequivocal message that after attacks like this it's not business as usual. We expect them to follow through on their promises -- that these armed gangs be disarmed. Our entire ability to move forward is based on that promise.

We're hopeful that Europe will continue to move forward in its attitude to the Israel-Palestinian issue and not return to the more one-sided approach that we've seen in the past.

The question that many Israelis have on their minds is whether this is cosmetic or is this a substantial move in the right direction. Of course we very much hope it is the latter.

I know the Israeli negotiating team, headed by our foreign minister, Shlomo Ben-Ami, left here with a feeling, with a sense that we do have something to work with and it is possible to move forward.
