The crushing victory in the Six Day War was one of the strongest layers
of the iron wall that we established against the Arab supremacy,
just as foreseen by Jabotinsky, whose remains Eshkol
brought to this mountain. Only when our neighbors
are convinced that our strength and our presence here
are irrefutable facts, only then some of them will be
persuaded to make peace with us, and we are fully advancing
this recognition and agreement process with our remaining
neighbors, not with all of them, but with most of them.
We are doing this with extensive segments of the Arab and Islamic
world in an expedited normalization process, only part of which
the public can see. We are also holding this process
in secret, and Israel is currently in contact with half a dozen
important Arab and Islamic countries,
which up until recently were hostile to Israel.
This is incomparably important to the vision of peace ―
peace through strength.
