Benjamin Netanyahu

we never forget that the most important partner that Israel has always been, and will always be, the United States of America.

Before Iran gets to a point where it's a few months away or a few weeks away from amassing enough enriched uranium to make a nuclear weapon.

Nearly everyone says that they support Israel's right to defend itself. And we appreciate those who say this. But there are those who refuse to recognize or to let Israel exercise that right.

It's a moral mistake. It's an operational mistake because that would validate and legitimize Hamas's use of human shields and it would hand an enormous victory to terrorists everywhere and a devastating effect to the free societies that…

We've developed anti- missile systems to protect. We use anti-missile system to protect our civilians. They use their civilians to protect their missiles. That's the difference.

We will regroup and arrange our forces in such a way that will enable us to defend our country. We will continue this operation until the goal will be achieved.

I will not agree to any proposal that does not allow the IDF to complete the work, which he says is important for security of Israel's future.

I will not accept any ceasefire proposal that prevents the IDF from completing the task of demolishing the tunnels, which is crucial to the security of the people of Israel.

We're determined to complete this mission, with or without a cease-fire, and he is not going to agree to any proposal that didn't allow the IDF to complete this work, important for the security of Israeli citizens.

This attack should surprise no one because Hamas makes no secret of its agenda. Hamas is committed to the destruction of Israel and to carrying out terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians, including children.

I'm very sad when I see that. We're sad for every civilian casualty. They're not intended. This is the difference between us. The Hamas deliberately target civilians and deliberately hide behind civilians.

The point is to destroy tunnels from Gaza into Israeli territory, the kind of tunnels Hamas tried to use to infiltrate Israel just this morning.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is promising that the teenagers' deaths will be avenged. That the people involved in their kidnapping-murder will bear the consequences.

Prime Minister Netanyahu has made it clear from the beginning of this drama on the 12th of June that the operation in the West Bank was aimed at two things -- finding the teenagers, punishing their captors and cracking down on Hamas, which…

Hamas will pay for the deaths of three Israeli teenagers.

What was achieved in Geneva is not a historic agreement. It is a historic mistake. To a large degree, this agreement rescues Iran from the pressure it has been under and also gives it international legitimacy to continue its nuclear…

The cornerstone of peace between us and our neighbors, and it has also been the cornerstone of stability in the Middle East.

I know there are those who expect an even more intense military response, and that may perhaps be needed. But at this time, the right thing for the state of Israel is to exhaust this opportunity to obtain a long-term cease-fire.

Prime Minister Netanyahu warned there could be additional military action if the cease-fire does not lead to long-term security.

Netanyahu has obviously been pushing the United States to declare a clear red line that Iran cannot cross if it wants to avoid war.

A red line should be drawn right here. Before, before Iran completes the second stage of nuclear enrichment necessary to make a bomb.

A red line should be drawn right here, before -- before Iran completes the second stage of nuclear enrichment necessary to make a bomb.

Iran must be exposed by the international community as the premier terrorist-supporting state that it is.

This attack was part of a global campaign of terror carried out by Iran and Hezbollah. This terror campaign has reached a dozen countries on five continents. The world's leading powers should make it clear that Iran is the country that…

Israel must always reserve the right to defend itself.
