The biggest obstacle to peace is the Palestinians' refusal to recognize the Jewish state.

Establishing a Palestinian state is a ridiculous idea, and we've seen what a Palestinian state has brought to Gaza.

I don't usually meet many Israeli journalists. There's no point in that.

We bombed a scanner (explosives) that was supposed to arrive from Iran to Lebanon and check the pagers. Then we learned that they were sending the pagers for testing in Iran.

I asked, "How soon will they have an answer (are the pagers rigged)?" They told me that they would have an answer within one day. I said, "Then, activate it immediately."

The misleading media says we're targeting civilians in Gaza.

And the 50,000 people?

I visited our forces in Rafah, and they told me they killed 12,000 fighters and not a single civilian.

Bashar al-Assad's regime collapsed in Syria because he received no support from anyone, and we captured the summit of Mount Hermon.

Some people are truly irreplaceable, and Nasrallah is one of them, and we killed him.

The southern Beirut suburb is your most important and last stronghold, and it will no longer be a safe zone.

We were able to turn the tables on Iran and undermine many of its threats to us in the region.

We have shattered the Iranian axis, but we still have much to accomplish.

We set the Iranians back 10 years after they thought they were close to acquiring a nuclear weapon.

We will destroy Iran's nuclear reactors and enrichment facilities to ensure they cannot enrich for any purpose.

We will not accept anything less than the complete destruction of all of Iranian nuclear capabilities to ensure they do not attempt to revive their program under another US administration.

We will not accept a settlement of Iran nuclear issue except through the Libyan model (full dismantling of the Iranian nuclear program).

Netanyahu held security consultations today with the participation of senior leaders of the security establishment.

We are closer to expanding operations in Gaza than reaching an agreement.

No progress can be made toward a deal as long as Hamas demands an end to the war.
