There's been a significant amount of Israelis who are joining my party because they think that Israel has to have a tough stance in this crazy environment called the Middle East.

I support Israel. And I have long supported a two-state solution and a democratic and secure state for the Jewish people, with a democratic and viable Palestinian state side-by-side in peace and dignity.

Both during the elections and as Prime Minister, I have repeatedly and publicly said that I support the establishment of a Palestinian state alongside the State of Israel.

There's no one in Israel who appreciates more than me the importance of American support for Israel.

Everyone who supports Israel is a Zionist.

As it is my good fortune to be American, I live in the only country that as a matter of policy is pro-Israel regardless of party allegiance; Democrats and Republicans equally unite behind the blue-and-white.

It's not only in Israel's interest but in America's as well to stand with one of its closest and important allies.

I've always been supportive of the right of Israel as a state, and I've always fought against anti-Semitism, even in my own community.

One day before I die, I will finally understand why liberals, especially Jewish liberals, fail to fully support Israel in its right to survive terror attacks.

You can easily justify to anyone about the need to keep supporting Israel. We get very generous support. We need it.
