We are committed to working together so as to deepen our relationship in the areas of defence and security ... You have friends in Israel.
We have no intention of acting for the moment... We should not engage in war when it is not necessary, but there may come a time or another when we are forced to face tests
War is not a picnic, but if Israel is forced to act, we won't have 50,000, 5,000 or even 500 dead, so long as people stay in their homes
We have no intention, at the moment, of taking action, but Israel is far from being paralyzed by fear ... It must act calmly and quietly - we don't need big wars.
As long as no such sanctions have been imposed and proven effective, we continue to recommend to our friends in the world and to ourselves, not to take any option off the table
Israel would be very glad if sanctions and diplomacy could bring the Iranian leadership to a clear decision to abandon its nuclear military program.
But one must remember that ultimately, Israel is a sovereign nation and the Israeli government, defense forces and security services -- not others -- are responsible for Israel's security, future and existence
Our stance is that monies should be transferred, they belong to the Palestinians, are collected by us. I am happy the issue is being rethought.
A war is no picnic, but in any scenario there won't be 50 thousand or 5,000 or even 500 dead
When the head of the Mossad unprecedentedly brings journalists to Mossad headquarters and instructs them to oppose the prime minister… I think that is very serious behavior. I would have expected him to act intelligently, without manipulations.
Some journalists can be trusted not to embarrass people publicly, but there are others (who cannot be trusted)
