The Iranian acquisition of nuclear weapons would be infinitely more costly than any scenario you can imagine to stop it.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUThe Iranian acquisition of nuclear weapons would be infinitely more costly than any scenario you can imagine to stop it.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUA legitimate democracy cannot act against a terror organization because it is using civilians as a human shield, and therefore it should absorb attacks on its own civilians.
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 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 NETANYAHUThe idea of imposing peace from the outside doesn’t work.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUThey deny the rights of women, deny democracy, brutalize their own people, don’t give freedom of religion.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUAnd by the way, a piece of news, Israel is the one country in which everyone is pro-American, opposition and coalition alike.
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 NETANYAHUThis is why, as a prime minister of Israel, I can promise you one more thing: Even if Israel has to stand alone, Israel will stand. But I know that Israel does not stand alone. I know that America stands with Israel.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUThe Israeli aggression on Gaza does not bring peace to Israel. We know that. We want end of occupation.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUAmerican leaders worry about the security of their country. Israeli leaders worry about the survival of their country.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUI 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.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUIn the frameworks of a peace agreement, a government under my leadership would agree to make real territorial concessions but will not compromise our security borders.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUThe prime minister of Israel is welcome to speak in the United States, obviously. But we don’t want to see this turned into some great political football
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUI don’t think Israel can accept an Iranian terror base next to its major cities any more than the United States could accept an al Qaeda base next to New York City.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUI don’t want to govern the Palestinians. I don’t want them as subjects of Israel or as citizens of Israel. I want them to have their own independent state but a demilitarized state.
