I told John Kerry and General Allen, the Americans’ expert, ‘We live here, I live here, I know what we need to ensure the security of Israel’s people.’
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUI told John Kerry and General Allen, the Americans’ expert, ‘We live here, I live here, I know what we need to ensure the security of Israel’s people.’
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUI had differences of opinion with President Obama and most well-known, of course, is Iran.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUTo defeat ISIS and let Iran get nuclear weapons would be to win the battle and lose the war.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUI think that peace will require two states, a Palestinian state that recognizes the Jewish state.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUHamas is simply continuing all its operations. And Israel will not let this terror operation decide when it’s convenient for them and not convenient for them to attack our people.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUI would say we want to stop the firing of rockets, for sure. But we also want to dismantle the terror – the tunnel – the terror tunnel networks that we have uncovered.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUI don’t want a one-state solution. But I certainly don’t want a zero-state solution, a no-state solution, where Israel’s very existence would be jeopardized. And that’s what the people of Israel overwhelmingly elected me to do.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUIf terror tunnels were dug underneath your border in order to come in and explode your kindergartens and massacre your people and kidnap American citizens.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUOur policy is very simple. The Jewish state was set up to defend Jewish lives, and we always reserve the right to defend ourselves.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUI always lose the election in the polls, and I always win it on election day.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUAnyone who is going to establish a Palestinian state, anyone who is going to evacuate territories today, is simply giving a base for attacks to the radical Islam against Israel.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUThe instability in the region is not a result of Israel and the Palestinians. That was never the cause of this instability. Instead, the disfunctionality of many of these societies that have failed to modernize.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUYou can only end a negotiation for peace if you begin it.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUIsrael is doing what any other country would do, and certainly the U.S. would do. If 80 percent of your population were under fire and you had 60 seconds or 90 seconds to get into bomb shelters.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUThe truth is that if Israel were to put down its arms there would be no more Israel. If the Arabs were to put down their arms there would be no more war.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUThe only good thing I can say about the deal with Iran is that it brought the Arab states and Israel closer together.
