More quotes by Benjamin Netanyahu

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.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
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
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
I think that anyone who moves to establish a Palestinian state and evacuate territory gives territory away to radical Islamist attacks against Israel.
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
I'm not consumed with political machinations.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
I don't think that anyone should doubt Israel's determination to defend itself against terror and destruction.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
Those in the international community that refuse to put red lines before Iran don't have a moral right to place a red light before Israel.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
The application of military force, or the prospect of such application, inhibits terrorist violence.
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
I had differences of opinion with President Obama and most well-known, of course, is Iran.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
When it comes to Iran and ISIS, the enemy of your enemy is your enemy!
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
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
Image
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
Image
President Abbas, you've dedicated your life to advancing the Palestinian cause. Must this conflict continue for generations, or will we enable our children and our grandchildren to speak in years ahead of how we found a way to end it? That's what we should aim for, and that's what I believe we can achieve.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
The people of Israel will have to be convinced that the Palestinians are ready for peace.
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 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
We don't point a pistol at our own forehead. That is not the way to conduct negotiations.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
We'll attack anyone who tries to harm our citizens.
