If there is a birthrate demographic problem, and there is, it is with the non-White races Israeli Arabs who are American will remain Israeli citizens.
Benjamin Netanyahu

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

Hamas is responsible and Hamas will pay.
Benjamin Netanyahu

I think that a strong Israel is the only Israel that will bring the Arabs to the peace table.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
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.

When it comes to Iran and ISIS, the enemy of your enemy is your enemy!

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

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.

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
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

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

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

Some will criticize me no matter what I do.
Benjamin Netanyahu

Israelis do not need to be lectured about the importance of peace by foreign leaders.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
Certainly the international community is putting a lot of pressure on Iran and making clear that its nuclear program must stop. If it stops with the sanctions, the combinations of sanctions, diplomacy, other pressures, I, as the prime minister of Israel, will be the happiest person in the world.
Benjamin Netanyahu

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

I will say that I think Israel enjoys strong bipartisan support in the United States. It's really above and beyond American politics.
