I'm not consumed with political machinations.

I'm not naturally manipulative.

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

I've been right more than I've been wrong.

Israel has always been pro-American. Israel will always be pro-American.

Israel has, enjoys bipartisan support - both Democrats and Republicans - and we extend bipartisan hospitality to both Democrats and Republicans.

Israel is so tiny. It's, you know, a little less than the length of Manhattan, without the West Bank, without Judea and Samaria.

Israel produces more conceptual products than any other country.

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

Populism is dangerous.

The application of military force, or the prospect of such application, inhibits terrorist violence.

The Iranian acquisition of nuclear weapons would be infinitely more costly than any scenario you can imagine to stop it.

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

The rules of engagement have become so rigid that governments often straightjacket themselves in the face of unambiguous aggression.

The State of Israel can be proud of what we're doing.

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

We don't point a pistol at our own forehead. That is not the way to conduct negotiations.

You can only end a negotiation for peace if you begin it.

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

But so far, you know who's been violating the nuclear nonproliferation pact day and night? Those who signed it. Iran, Iraq, Libya and Iran violates it while calling for Israel's destruction and racing to develop atomic weapons to that end.
