More quotes by Benjamin Netanyahu

Image
Iran 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. They deny the rights of women, deny democracy, brutalize their own people, don't give freedom of religion.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
We don't point a pistol at our own forehead. That is not the way to conduct negotiations.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
Everything should be done to prevent Iran, the world's most dangerous regime, from developing the world's most dangerous weapons.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
But so far, you know who's been violating the nuclear nonproliferation pact day and night? Those who signed it. Iran, Iraq, Libya and Iran violates it while calling for Israel's destruction and racing to develop atomic weapons to that end.

The right combination is between a free economy and social policy that addresses the needs of society and creates equal opportunity.

I don't think you can rely on Iran. I don't think you can rely on other radicals like the Taliban. They dispatched Al Qaida to bomb New York and Washington. What were they thinking? Were they that stupid? They weren't stupid. There is an irrationality there, and there is madness in this method.
Benjamin Netanyahu

The 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 Netanyahu

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.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
I 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 Netanyahu
Image
I don't think that anyone should doubt Israel's determination to defend itself against terror and destruction.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
This 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 Netanyahu

If there is willingness on the Palestinian side to reach an agreement, it is possible. We are conducting the negotiations with goodwill.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
Don’t be fooled. The battle between Iran and ISIS doesn’t turn Iran into a friend of America.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
We want to end this misery of the Palestinian people in order for us really to live with dignity as human beings in an independent state side by side with the Israeli state.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
Israel has to accommodate the Palestinian demands and aspirations for ending occupation and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. That is the only answer. The Israeli aggression on Gaza does not bring peace to Israel. We know that. We want end of occupation.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
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.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
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.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
I think the Israeli people understand now what I always say: that there cannot be a situation, under any agreement, in which we relinquish security control of the territory west of the River Jordan.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
There is a fundamental situation in which the country has reached rock bottom, that a mother can't send her children out of the house in the morning. The country has reached rock bottom and this needs to be changed.
Benjamin Netanyahu

The Israelis wanted to sabotage the Palestinian - Palestinian reconciliation.
