Iran is a country that talks about, denies the Holocaust, promises to wipe out Israel, is engaged in terror throughout the world. This is a regime that is giving vent to the worst impulses that you see right now in the Middle East. They deny the rights of women, deny democracy, brutalize their own people, don't give freedom of religion.

You know, I'm just not going to get into American politics.

I'm the prime minister who removed 400 checkpoints, barriers, road-blocks and so on to facilitate the growth of the Palestinian economy.

The prime minister of Israel is welcome to speak in the United States, obviously. But we don't want to see this turned into some great political football

Hamas is simply continuing all its operations. And Israel will not let this terror operation decide when it's convenient for them and not convenient for them to attack our people.

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

There’s no one in Israel who appreciates more than me the importance of American support for Israel.
