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.

The Obama presidency has two great missions: fixing the economy, and preventing Iran from gaining nuclear weapons.

Donald Trump feels very warmly about the Jewish state, about the Jewish people and about Jewish people. There's no question about that.

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.

I certainly will make sure that everybody understands that I'm the prime minister of all of Israel's citizens, and I really believe that. It's something that my actions have shown. It's not a question of fence-mending, it's a question of real belief, and it's there. I don't have to fabricate it.

I'm not consumed with political machinations.
