I'm very proud to be the prime minister of all of Israel's citizens, Arabs and Jews alike.

Israel has done enormous amount of, for peace. I myself have done things that no prime minister previously had done.

Every time an Arab leader truly wanted peace, they got it. If the Palestinians truly want peace, we will make peace.

The right combination is between a free economy and social policy that addresses the needs of society and creates equal opportunity.

There is a structural difference between the way that Europe views Israel, and America views Israel. The European view is informed by the importance of colonialism in Europe's past. So for Europeans we are like Belgiums in the Congo, or the French in Alger, or the British in India. Strange interlopers in somebody else's land. But in fact, we [Israeli] have been here for 4,000 years. This is our ancestral homeland.

I'm not naturally manipulative.

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