Quote

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.

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.

Leaders must see reality as it is, not as it ought to be.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
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
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
Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon now presides over the UN Security Council. This means, in effect, that a terror organization presides over the body entrusted with guaranteeing the world's security. You couldn't make this thing up.
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
Image
I want to tell you that Israel is a democracy and every citizen is automatically registered to vote. There's a commitment in our declaration of independence, guaranteed under Israel's law, that all our citizens, Arab and Jews, alike, have the right to vote.

Our friendship will weather the current disagreement as well, to grow even stronger in the future.
Benjamin Netanyahu

There is a great danger to the world, not only to my country [Israel] but to the United States, to the Middle East, to peace, to all of humanity, from the prospect that such regimes that brutalize its own people, that sponsors terrorism more than any other regime in the world - that this regime acquires atomic bombs is very, very dangerous.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
The Obama presidency has two great missions: fixing the economy, and preventing Iran from gaining nuclear weapons.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
I will say that I think Israel enjoys strong bipartisan support in the United States. It's really above and beyond American politics.
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
You know, I think, I think the Palestinians are trying to get away without negotiating. They're trying to get a state to continue the conflict with Israel rather than to end it. They're trying to basically detour around peace negotiations by going to the U.N. and have the automatic majority in the U.N. General Assembly give them, give them a state.
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'm very proud to be the prime minister of all of Israel's citizens, Arabs and Jews alike.

There is an irreplaceable ally. It's called the United States of America.
Benjamin Netanyahu

Israel is so tiny. It's, you know, a little less than the length of Manhattan, without the West Bank, without Judea and Samaria.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
Donald Trump feels very warmly about the Jewish state, about the Jewish people and about Jewish people. There's no question about that.
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.

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.
