“I’m not intervening in Syria. But at the same time, if Syria tries to intervene with us, if Iran tries to use Syria to attack us, we’ll stop it.”

They’re in the red zone. They’re in the last 20 yards, and you can’t let them cross that goal line. You can’t let them score a touchdown, because that would have unbelievable consequences, grievous consequences for the peace and security of us all, of the world really.

They deny the rights of women, deny democracy, brutalize their own people, don’t give freedom of religion.

If the Palestinians do their part, we shall do our part and we shall have an agreement.

I unequivocally condemn the striking of the soldier from the Ethiopian community and those responsible will be brought to justice but nobody has the right to take the law into their own hands,

We’ll attack anyone who tries to harm our citizens.

Anyone 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.

I will say that I think Israel enjoys strong bipartisan support in the United States. It’s really above and beyond American politics.

I want to tell you that Israel is a democracy and every citizen is automatically registered to vote. There’s a commitment in our declaration of independence, guaranteed under Israel’s law, that all our citizens, Arab and Jews, alike, have the right to vote.

I cannot agree that a terrorist can ever be an idealist, or that the objects sought can ever justify terrorism. The impact of terrorism, not merely on individual nations, but on humanity as a whole, is intrinsically evil, necessarily evil and wholly evil.

Our friendship will weather the current disagreement as well, to grow even stronger in the future.

I think it’s my responsibility, to speak up when something threatens our very future.

I can tell you one thing, Iran is closer to developing nuclear weapons today than it was a week ago, or a month ago or a year ago. It’s just moving on with its efforts.

The entire world is focusing on the compromises that are necessary from Israel’s side. But people [in the world] are not focusing on the fact that the Palestinians refuse to make the necessary compromises that are required on their side for peace.

The relationship between Israel and the United States is a bond of – it’s just a very powerful bond. It was, it is, and will be and will continue to be.

But … the days that the Jewish people remain passive in the face of genocidal enemies — those days are over.

Most of the approaches to peace between Israel and the Palestinians, have been directed at trying to resolve the most complex problems, like refugees and Jerusalem, which is akin to building the pyramid from the top down.

In England we have come to rely upon a comfortable time-lag of fifty years or a century intervening between the perception that something ought to be done and a serious attempt to do it.

Oil is the best example. The US and its allies are constantly intervening in countries where they don’t belong only to defend their prosperity.
