I was so pissed off. I let him know. He has no f*****g judgement.

I am very happy to see a ceasefire. And I’m hopeful that it holds.

I've said to them always: 'You have probably the third-largest oil reserves in the world. What the hell do you need nuclear for?'

I say, 'You can do a little softer touch, Bibi. You don't have to knock down a building every time somebody walks into it that's from Hezbollah.'

I’m not saying they shouldn’t protect themselves. I’m saying when two drones are shot into the desert and drop harmlessly, you don’t have to knock down buildings in Beirut.

I didn't want to see an economic catastrophe.

Without me, there would be no Israel because no other president was willing to do what I did — I have had a great relationship with Bibi.

“The fighting was too long and too many people are being killed.”

I didn't want to see economic catastrophe. If you kept this going, that could have happened.

But only a few have received our highest military distinction, the Congressional Medal of Honor. I wanted to give it to myself.
