BENJAMIN NETANYAHUIn order to restore security for Israeli citizens, every home, mother and child in Israel, and to establish a stable and strong government that will unite the nation…I hereby declare my candidacy.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUThe Iranian acquisition of nuclear weapons would be infinitely more costly than any scenario you can imagine to stop it.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUFirst of all, Arafat is wrong. Jerusalem is Israel’s capital, will never be divided, and will remain the capital of the State of Israel, the capital of the Jewish people, for ever and ever.
