I can tell you one thing, Iran is closer to developing nuclear weapons today than it was a week ago, or a month ago or a year ago. It's just moving on with its efforts.

Our policy is very simple. The Jewish state was set up to defend Jewish lives, and we always reserve the right to defend ourselves.

While Israel is prepared to make generous compromises for peace, it cannot go back to the 1967 lines...

The people of Israel will have to be convinced that the Palestinians are ready for peace.

Populism is dangerous.

You don't have people chanting 'Death to America' in Israel.

So I think we should stay focused on the real problem in the Middle East. It's not Israel. It's these dictatorships that are developing nuclear weapons with the specific goal of wiping Israel away.
