Israel has the power to protect itself and its citizens.

The United States and Israel have a unique relationship based on our mutual commitment to democracy, freedom, and peace. Therefore, just as our commitment to these principles must be steadfast, so must our support for Israel.

Israel is following policies which maximise its security threats... policies which choose expansion over security... policies which lead to their moral degradation, their isolation, their delegitimation, as they call it now, and very likely ultimate destruction. That's not impossible.

Security is something that serves Israeli interests and Palestinian interests. You have a common threat and you have a common enemy and it's important to deal with that as partners.

Israel must take decisions that are good to Israel. We must not try to satisfy anyone else, including our closest ally, the United States of America.

Israel's flexibility is dependent on its sense of security.

The security of the citizens of Israel, the future of the state of Israel, this is the Israeli government's responsibility.

The security of Israel is a moral imperative for all free peoples.

I will continue to believe that Israel's security is paramount.

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