You can only end a negotiation for peace if you begin it.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUYou can only end a negotiation for peace if you begin it.
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 NETANYAHUIn my office in Jerusalem, there’s an ancient seal. It’s a signet ring of a Jewish official from the time of the Bible.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUWe will respond with a heavy hand to the brutal murder of Jews who came to pray and were killed by lowly murderers.
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 NETANYAHUYou know, I said in the U.N., I said to President Abbas, “Look, we’re in the same city, we’re in the same building, for God’s sake, the U.N. Let ‘s just sit down and begin to talk peace.”
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUWe are using missile defense to protect our civilians, and they’re using their civilians to protect their missiles.
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 NETANYAHUTo defeat ISIS and let Iran get nuclear weapons would be to win the battle and lose the war.
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 NETANYAHUThere is an irreplaceable ally. It’s called the United States of America.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUYou can make peace with an enemy, if the enemy abandons the idea of destroying you. That is the critical test. Democracies fail to understand what I just said.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUThe Israeli government has proved over the past year its commitment to peace, both in words and deeds. By contrast, the Palestinians are posing preconditions for renewing the diplomatic process in a way they have not done over the course of 16 years.
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 NETANYAHUWhile Israel is prepared to make generous compromises for peace, it cannot go back to the 1967 lines…
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUI don’t think that anyone should doubt Israel’s determination to defend itself against terror and destruction.
