Peace is something very dear. If you've been through wars and operations and battles, you want peace. ”

I think that peace will require two states, a Palestinian state that recognizes the Jewish state. ”

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

I say that to my colleagues, by the way, in the internal Cabinet meetings, I say, 'Look, I want to be very clear about what I want.' I just - I don't want a peace process, I want a peace result. ”

The Palestinians want a state, but they have to give peace in return. What they're trying to do in the United Nations is to get a state without giving Israel peace or giving Israel peace and security. And I think that's, that's wrong. That should not succeed. That should, that should fail. ”

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

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

I don't want to govern the Palestinians. I don't want them as subjects of Israel or as citizens of Israel. I want them to have their own independent state but a demilitarized state. ”

Certainly the international community is putting a lot of pressure on Iran and making clear that its nuclear program must stop. If it stops with the sanctions, the combinations of sanctions, diplomacy, other pressures, I, as the prime minister of Israel, will be the happiest person in the world. ”

Those in the international community that refuse to put red lines before Iran don't have a moral right to place a red light before Israel. ”
