I'm not consumed with political machinations.

Israel produces more conceptual products than any other country.

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

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

Israel does not target civilians. It targets the terrorists.
Benjamin Netanyahu

Israel has, enjoys bipartisan support - both Democrats and Republicans - and we extend bipartisan hospitality to both Democrats and Republicans.

I 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.

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

The Obama presidency has two great missions: fixing the economy, and preventing Iran from gaining nuclear weapons.

May God bless the state of Israel and may God bless the United States of America.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
I am certain that I speak on behalf of my entire nation when I say: Today, we are all Americans. In grief, as in defiance.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
I don't want a single state. And I talked about two states where a demilitarized Palestinian state recognizes the Jewish state, and I stand by that. I haven't retracted my position I haven't changed it.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
I will go to the UN General Assembly and, in a clear voice, tell the nations of the world the truth about Iran's terrorist regime, which constitutes the greatest threat to world peace.
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.
Benjamin Netanyahu

Don’t be fooled. The battle between Iran and ISIS doesn’t turn Iran into a friend of America.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
[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

They're in the red zone. They're in the last 20 yards, and you can't let them cross that goal line. You can't let them score a touchdown, because that would have unbelievable consequences, grievous consequences for the peace and security of us all, of the world really.

As far as a nuclear weapons-free zone, you know, when the lion lies down with the lamb, and you don't need a new lamb every day to satisfy the lion, then we might have this kind of transformation in the Middle East.
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
