Benjamin Netanyahu

The actual idea of allowing first Gazans who want to leave to leave, I mean, what is wrong with that?

I think everybody understands that just as, the president fought and defeated al Qaeda and ISIS, that we can't leave Hamas there because Hamas will continue the battle to destroy Israel.

I think peace between Israel and Saudi Arabia is not only feasible, I think it's going to happen.

I believe, Mr. President, that your willingness to puncture conventional thinking... will help us achieve all these goals.

You are the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House.

You recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital. You moved the American embassy there.

Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, and we fully agree with that.

If this, you know, toxic, murderous organization is left standing any more than you could make peace in Europe after World War Two, if the Nazi regime was left standing.

I call on everyone who holds our hostages, whoever lays down his weapon and returns the hostages, we will allow him to go out and live.

We took out a thousand of terrorists, including Nasrallah himself, and Nasrallah replacement, the replacement of his replacement.

Iran made a big mistake tonight, and it will pay for it. We will stand by the rule established -- whoever attacks us, we will attack them.

I promised to change the security balance, the balance of power in the north. This is exactly what we're doing. We're dismantling thousands of rockets and missiles aimed at Israeli cities and citizens.

I'm asking for your forgiveness that we didn't manage to bring them back alive.

We're prepared for any scenario, and will stand united and determined against any threat.

I think to the extent that Hamas understands that there's no daylight between Israel and the United States, that expedites the deal. And I would hope those comments don't change that.

We will know how to defend ourselves and we will act according to the simple principle of whoever harms us or plans to harm us, we will harm them.

I think a red line in this case works to reduce the chances of the need for military action because once the Iranians understand that there’s no-- there’s a line that they can’t cross, they are not likely to cross it.

The war will not end until all its goals are achieved, including the return of all our hostages, the elimination of Hamas's military and governmental capabilities.

If Israel has to stand alone, we'll stand alone.

I've known Joe Biden for many years, 40 years or more. We've often had agreements but we've had our disagreements. We've been able to overcome them.

We will do what we have to do to protect our country. And that means protect our future. And that means we will defeat Hamas, including in Rafah.

If we need to stand alone, we will stand alone. I've said that if necessary, we will fight with our fingernails.

If we need to stand alone, we will stand alone. I have said that if necessary, we will fight with our fingernails.

Military pressure on Hamas is a necessary condition for the return of our hostages. The Hamas proposal yesterday was intended to torpedo the entry of our forces into Rafah. It did not happen.

Yes, I mean, there's no question that his ultimate goal is to stay in power so he has the basis to plea bargain in the corruption trials that he's now in the middle of.
