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 am certain that I speak on behalf of my entire nation when I say: Today, we are all Americans. In grief, as in defiance.

Anyone who is going to establish a Palestinian state, anyone who is going to evacuate territories today, is simply giving a base for attacks to the radical Islam against Israel.

Our friendship will weather the current disagreement as well, to grow even stronger in the future.

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

Israel is very much endangering.

Hamas is responsible and Hamas should held accountable for civilian deaths.
