We did not think that Nasser wanted war. The two divisions he sent to Sinai on May 14 would not have been sufficient to launch an offensive against Israel. He knew it and we knew it.

About Yizhak Rabin

Yitzhak Rabin (1 March 1922 – 4 November 1995) was an Israeli general, statesman and prime minister, who won the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize (together with Shimon Peres and Yasser Arafat). He was the fifth Prime Minister of Israel, serving two terms in office, 1974–77 and 1992 until his assassination in 1995, by a right-wing Israeli radical opposed to Rabin's signing of the Oslo Accords.

Additional quotes by Yizhak Rabin

We view the permanent solution in the framework of State of Israel which will include most of the area of the Land of Israel as it was under the rule of the British Mandate, and alongside it a Palestinian entity which will be a home to most of the Palestinian residents living in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. We would like this to be an entity which is less than a state, and which will independently run the lives of the Palestinians under its authority. The borders of the State of Israel, during the permanent solution, will be beyond the lines which existed before the Six Day War. We will not return to the 4 June 1967 lines.
