 Good morning. Thank you for coming. I would like to thank His Majesty King Abdullah for so graciously hosting this gathering of hope and action. I want to thank His Majesty for his continued efforts to bring peace and hope to the Middle East. I listened to His Majesty address as well to the statement of President of Egypt, His Excellency RCC. I think they are talking about the future. They are talking about issues concerning each of us and all of us. It was really a message of hope. It's clear that all of us should support on one hand the renew of the negotiations for peace and on the other hand to look for ways to bring an end to terror. Terror has spilled so much blood. Terror has created a tragic loss of so many innocent people, many children, women, and made so many refugees in millions. For all of us, from all religions, cutting head is not a religious call. It's a sin, not a prayer. We must all raise to voice the responsibility and the stand together against violence. The people of the Middle East know today that the real problem is the face of terror, is how to face terror and how to end terror. All who stand for peace and against terror have to stand united. The Middle East is going through a complicated situation, but not a lost one. I believe that from a crisis, one can emerge stronger and better. We must take advantage of the new opportunities that have arised. This reality might serve all of our people with blessing of peace and prosperity. In Israel, there is a clear majority for the two-state solution. It is being supported by the majority of the people, and I'm convinced there will be no better and there is no better alternative for the two-state solution. I believe it is possible. I believe it's needed. I believe it's urgent. There is an interruption in the peace negotiations right now, but I believe that the peace negotiations can be resumed and sooner the better. It is sure that it's impossible to freeze realities. For me, it's the nine times that I participate in this gathering in Jordan. And when I look back, nothing was left from the situation that existed nine years ago. No status quo all the time. Things are changing, demanding, and offering new occasions and new problems. The status quo is not an option. Changes arises from every source and every development. To the pessimists who have already buried the two-state solution I would like to remind that there was a time when peace and Jordan were considered a fantasy or a dream, an impossible, impossibility. Today it is a reality. And the hope, it's already a long time since it was introduced. It went through many tests, many challenges, and it remains a piece. We greatly value the peace agreements of our, with the two of our greatest neighbors, Egypt being the largest country in the Middle East and Jordan being the nearest country to us. They followed us to live in peace side by side through challenges, realities of our region. Alongside the political path to our peace, we must continue to pave an economic path which is in the global economy. It's a new experience and it offers a new addition to strengthen and opening peace. If the countries in the Middle East will enter the global economy, they'll find new advantages to escape poverty. As we did, we were a typical Middle Eastern country. It's very little resources whatsoever. And it is really the global approach of innovation that helped us to overcome our troubles and our shortages. It can happen to any other country here. The scientific march is gaining strength and speed all the time. We are living in two parallel economies, the global economy which doesn't have frontiers and doesn't know differences among people. And the national economy bound by all borders and prejudices and frontiers. The Middle East is now facing both economies, the old and the new. And we should not postpone to enter the new age as well. I do believe that while opening the peace negotiation, we must also reopen, parallelly, not instead of, the potential of the global economy. As the negotiation encourages peaceful cooperation, the global economy encourages regional occasion. We are called a startup nation. One can say the Middle East can have a startup region. I believe that today the Middle East can offer cooperation for progress, for hope against extremism and bloodshed. Together we can make our region more promising, more peaceful, more fruitful. The sooner, the better. Thank you. They don't hear you. Wait, wait. Mr. Paris, you say peace is urgent, peace is possible. But when you see the new government in Israel, that is widely considered as the most right-wing government in Israel's history, do you believe that on Israel's side there is a real commitment to a two-state solution? Well, I don't know how do you see the new government. They just started. They just have one candidate meeting. And I think one should watch what they are going to do, because the commitment to a two-state solution was inherent by the previous government, and the new one said they are going to continue it. So it's a little bit too early to judge. I think, as you know, that you cannot judge governments or leaders separately from the overall situation. There is a situation that requires answers, and I'm sure the government will have and probably will look for answers that are answering the challenges of the situation. You say there's a clear majority in Israel for a two-state solution. Yes. It's probably true. But there is. By probably. It's true. My assessment. I'm not sure there's a majority for a two-state solution on the terms that President Abbas repeated today. And this is not a new position. This is the reason why there's been no peace for 20 years. So the movement is growing at this point to put international pressure on Israel. Obviously, Israel resists this as any country would. However, increasingly, many people in Israel on the left from your own camp are actually in favor of this. Can you tell us what your position is? Look, we have to negotiate because we disagree. If we would agree, we wouldn't have to negotiate. But in addition to the disagreements that still exist that I don't deny them, there was a great deal of agreements. There was a change in the Arab attitude if you'll compare the three calls of Khartoum, not to negotiate Israel, not deal with Israel, not recognize Israel. And you look at the new Arab program for peace, it's a major change. At least some points that were in contradiction or disagreement. The paper is coming closer to its solution. And in Israel, too, it took time, but the majority is for a two-state solution. We have to negotiate the differences. And there is no other way to solve them but by negotiations. You know, I'm too old a little bit to think that if you had this agreement, this is the end of the world. I'm young enough to believe that if you had this agreement, you can solve it as well. That's my experience. I can hardly hear you. Please raise your voice a little bit. I'm from Kosovo and I would like to ask you why Israel did not recognize the independence of Kosovo? Because now, if you... Why doesn't Israel... But now we have an agreement with Serbia and Kosovo. I think we have relations with Kosovo. The matter of recognition is always under study. I just want to ask, will any future settlement with the Brazilians solve the problem of the Brazilian refugee outside? How they can come back and... What's the solution for them? For the refugees, amen. We're in the error papers, it being said, that we have to find a just and right solution. It's accepted by us as well. We don't have... Nobody has a solution to refugees all over the world. It's not simple. But clearly, we think it should be negotiated. And as the Arab paper, not only our paper, suggests that the solution must be right and equal, right and agreed. I think that's the entrance to negotiations. I want also to remind that in the previous construction of the peace negotiations, there were two sorts of negotiations. It was a double-decked bus, one directly between the Palestinian and us, and then indirectly with all other issues which are not just between the Palestinian and us. This included a committee to solve the refugee problem headed by the Canadian delegation. And with the participation of the Palestinians, the Arabs, and the Israel, they started to work quite promising. And I think we have to renew the work of this established committee which was never stopped officially. Okay, if you show us the front. Okay.
