Israel never targets civilians deliberately, period.

I come from the hi-tech world - you don't survive if you don't constantly reinvent yourself every few years.

For Israel to retain its amazing position as the largest concentration of high tech after Silicon Valley, we need more engineers and mathematicians. We have too many lawyers.

There's 2 million Palestinians that govern themselves. They have their own parliament, their own government, their own elections, their own tax system. I don't want to govern the Palestinians; no one does. They already govern themselves.

Israel now has a reputation around the world of being not just a place to develop products and technology but to develop ideas.

Can you imagine what will happen to the global economy if Iran comes out with a nuclear weapon? The whole area will enter a nuclear race - Saudi Arabia, Turkey.

In my previous career as a chief executive of high-tech companies, I experienced firsthand the endless possibilities when people from diverse backgrounds work together. They get to know one another and quickly learn that they share more in common than they originally thought.

I opened about a dozen employment centers for Arab women across Israel during my two years as minister of economy.
