The only peace that can endure is a peace that can be defended.

I've been right more than I've been wrong.

The people of Israel will have to be convinced that the Palestinians are ready for peace.

This is why, as a prime minister of Israel, I can promise you one more thing: Even if Israel has to stand alone, Israel will stand. But I know that Israel does not stand alone. I know that America stands with Israel.

All I can tell you is that Israel's position in the Arab world has changed because they no longer see Israel as their enemy, but as their ally, in their indispensable battle against the forces of militant Islam, either those led by Iran, the Shiites, or - and those led by Daesh - by ISIS, the militant Sunnis.

If diplomacy has any chance to work, it must be coupled with a credible military threat.

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