If Israel is forced to stand alone, Israel will stand alone.

[The decision to travel to Washington and deliver the speech] has injected a degree of partisanship, which is not only unfortunate, I think it's destructive of the fabric of the relationship

In order to restore security for Israeli citizens, every home, mother and child in Israel, and to establish a stable and strong government that will unite the nation...I hereby declare my candidacy.

Iran is a country that talks about, denies the Holocaust, promises to wipe out Israel, is engaged in terror throughout the world. This is a regime that is giving vent to the worst impulses that you see right now in the Middle East. They deny the rights of women, deny democracy, brutalize their own people, don't give freedom of religion.

The application of military force, or the prospect of such application, inhibits terrorist violence.

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

Israel produces more conceptual products than any other country.
