The Israelis wanted to sabotage the Palestinian - Palestinian reconciliation.

We don't point a pistol at our own forehead. That is not the way to conduct negotiations.

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

To subdivide this land into two unstable, insecure nations, to try to defend what is indefensible, is to invite disaster. Carving Judea and Samaria out of Israel means carving up Israel.

I'm very proud of the fact that Israel is the one country in a very broad radius that - in which Arabs have free and fair elections. That's sacrosanct. That will never change. I wasn't trying to suppress a vote. I was trying to get something to counter a foreign-funded effort to get votes that are intended to topple my party. And I was calling on our voters to come out.

I had differences of opinion with President Obama and most well-known, of course, is Iran.

The purpose of the Jewish state is to secure the Jewish future. That is why Israel must always have the ability to defend itself, against any threat.
