Benjamin Netanyahu
In the frameworks of a peace agreement, a government under my leadership would agree to make real territorial concessions but will not compromise our security borders.

Benjamin Netanyahu
We wanted peace and we wanted to come to terms with the Israelis.
Benjamin Netanyahu
I don't want a one-state solution. But I certainly don't want a zero-state solution, a no-state solution, where Israel's very existence would be jeopardized. And that's what the people of Israel overwhelmingly elected me to do.
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
Israel produces more conceptual products than any other country.
Benjamin Netanyahu
The right combination is between a free economy and social policy that addresses the needs of society and creates equal opportunity.

You can make peace with an enemy, if the enemy abandons the idea of destroying you. That is the critical test. Democracies fail to understand what I just said.
Benjamin Netanyahu
The people of Israel will have to be convinced that the Palestinians are ready for peace.
Benjamin Netanyahu
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
I'm not consumed with political machinations.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Most of the approaches to peace between Israel and the Palestinians, have been directed at trying to resolve the most complex problems, like refugees and Jerusalem, which is akin to building the pyramid from the top down.
