BENJAMIN NETANYAHUWe want there to be less friction. We want to remove outposts to help the Palestinian population. We will not reoccupy the Palestinian population.
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 NETANYAHUWhat were they thinking? Were they that stupid? They weren’t stupid. There is an irrationality there, and there is madness in this method.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUIsrael has, enjoys bipartisan support – both Democrats and Republicans – and we extend bipartisan hospitality to both Democrats and Republicans.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUI 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.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUThe Romans used to say that courage is not the only virtue, but it’s the only one that makes the other virtues possible.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHUIf the world powers are not prepared to insist that Iran change its behavior before a deal is signed, at the very least they should insist that Iran change its behavior before a deal expires.
