My level of intervention in the press, trying to control stories, is zero. Subzero.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUMy level of intervention in the press, trying to control stories, is zero. Subzero.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUIf we accept the notion that terrorists will have immunity because as they fire on civilians they hide behind civilians, then this tactic will be legitimized and the terrorists will have their greatest victory.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUThe Israeli aggression on Gaza does not bring peace to Israel. We know that. We want end of occupation.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUIran is a country that talks about, denies the Holocaust, promises to wipe out Israel, is engaged in terror throughout the world. This is a regime that is giving vent to the worst impulses that you see right now in the Middle East.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUIsrael has no better friend than America. And America has no better friend than Israel. We stand together to defend democracy.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUIf Iran wants to be treated like a normal country, let it act like a normal country.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUI often hear them accuse Israel of Judaizing Jerusalem. That’s like accusing America of Americanizing Washington, or the British of Anglicizing London. You know why we’re called ‘Jews’? Because we come from Judea.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUI will say that I think Israel enjoys strong bipartisan support in the United States. It’s really above and beyond American politics.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUI think that peace will require two states, a Palestinian state that recognizes the Jewish state.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUDon’t be fooled. The battle between Iran and ISIS doesn’t turn Iran into a friend of America.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUIsrael has to accommodate the Palestinian demands and aspirations for ending occupation and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. That is the only answer.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUHezbollah-controlled Lebanon now presides over the UN Security Council. This means, in effect, that a terror organization presides over the body entrusted with guaranteeing the world’s security. You couldn’t make this thing up.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUThere is a structural difference between the way that Europe views Israel, and America views Israel. The European view is informed by the importance of colonialism in Europe’s past.
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 think they’re timid, they’re afraid to actually stand up to these killers. And I think that they’re afraid, maybe for their own sake, for their own political hides, sometimes for their own physical safety. And they don’t take that necessary plunge.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU[The decision to travel to Washington and deliver the speech] has injected a degree of partisanship, which is not only unfortunate, I think it’s destructive of the fabric of the relationship
