He is right, and the U.N. needs to reflect the fact that countries in the world need to stop delegitimizing Israel and they need to recognize Israel's right to exist.

I would make it clear that America essentially has two red lines in terms particularly as it relates to this issue, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

There is a new sheriff in town, President Trump, and we have Republican leadership of the House and the Senate that is critical, to say the least, of the United Nations.

Ideally, the answer to your question would be the Palestinian people should decide in a free and democratically held election.

Israel is a miracle country. They have everything to be proud of.

What we need to do, in my humble view, in terms of succession of President Abbas, is make sure that those Palestinian leaders who adhere to a policy of nonviolence, that adhere to a belief in a negotiated two-state outcome, we need to give…

There are Israeli responsibilities, there are Palestinian responsibilities and there are responsibilities of the larger Arab world.

I think we should work with the new Secretary-General to make the overall U.N. budgets far more efficient.

Yes, the terminology of the resolution has its tremendous flaws, as was pointed out, but there were certain actions taken by both the Palestinians, which should be condemned.

Don't let that happen on our watch.

Congress and the administration should work with Secretary General Guterres, who just this week clearly documented the Jewish connection to the land of Israel, to dismantle the anti-Israel U.N. infrastructure.

It is undeniable that the United Nations has demonstrated a systematic obsession with unjust criticism of Israel and an institutional anti-Israel bias for decades.

We should have our Embassy in Jerusalem. We should. But you know what? It should get there when we have a resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

It is undeniable that the dynamic in the region has changed for the better.

At no time in history of Jewish Americans or Jews had the opportunity to live as well as we have as we have in this country.

With the Arab Peace Initiative, we went from the reality of regional war against Israel to the prospect... of regional peace.

The Arab peace plan is a non-starter as long as it is unchangeable.

The payments to the terrorists and their families are indefensible.

My understanding is that, unfortunately, they have not achieved any dramatic reduction in the incitement contained in the textbooks.

I have never understood the term 'honest broker.'

Neutrality by the United States with respect to Israel and its neighbors would be catastrophic.

Because my fear is that when we take actions like the one you are describing, which are totally justifiable based on the facts of what is occurring...

And all I would suggest is, if you are going to do that--which, obviously, your bill stands for that--then at least have round two figured out on how you are going to achieve your purpose, which is minimize terrorism, not enhance it.

If you want to prevent the people with the knives, I would respectfully suggest the Israeli Government should complete the security fence and create borders that----

They need internationally recognized borders that are, in fact, defensible.
