There’s no one in Israel who appreciates more than me the importance of American support for Israel.

I'm not consumed with political machinations.

Israelis do not need to be lectured about the importance of peace by foreign leaders.

The history of warfare has not yet enabled any army, any civilized army, the army of a democracy like Israel, to be able to deal with a ruthless terrorist enemy that uses civilians as a human shield without having some incidental civilian casualties.

To defeat ISIS and let Iran get nuclear weapons would be to win the battle and lose the war.

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.

I'm the prime minister who removed 400 checkpoints, barriers, road-blocks and so on to facilitate the growth of the Palestinian economy.
