The Obama presidency has two great missions: fixing the economy, and preventing Iran from gaining nuclear weapons.

I'm not naturally manipulative.

There is an irreplaceable ally. It's called the United States of America.

We want to end this misery of the Palestinian people in order for us really to live with dignity as human beings in an independent state side by side with the Israeli state.

My level of intervention in the press, trying to control stories, is zero. Subzero.

I think the Israeli people understand now what I always say: that there cannot be a situation, under any agreement, in which we relinquish security control of the territory west of the River Jordan.

We will take whatever action is necessary to protect our people, including against the terror tunnels that they are trying to dig against us.
