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.

I think that a strong Israel is the only Israel that will bring the Arabs to the peace table.

Israel does not target civilians. It targets the terrorists.

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

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

I don't think that anyone should doubt Israel's determination to defend itself against terror and destruction.

As far as a nuclear weapons-free zone, you know, when the lion lies down with the lamb, and you don't need a new lamb every day to satisfy the lion, then we might have this kind of transformation in the Middle East.
