“What the hell is happening to the world when those who were at the origin of... international humanitarian law start questioning in public debates whether it has any relevance or should be respected?”

“Fragility, violence, and conflict are complex. Fragility is influenced by a wide set of factors, many of which are deeply entrenched, such as high social and income inequality. The lines between criminal, inter-communal, and politically motivated violence are often blurred.”

“We believe that settlement expansion policies pursued in recent decades by successive Israeli governments have facilitated the process of de-facto annexation. It has complicated the dialogue between the different communities.”

“I think debates are healthy. I think they include more people. And I don't believe most people, if they don't win, are just going to take their ball and go home.”

“Debates, I hate.”

“Open all the debates that you want, but I think that the players that I select, and in whom I have total confidence, deserve a minimum amount of respect.”
