Some Will Criticize Me No Matter What

President Abbas, You've Dedicated Your Life To Advancing The Palestinian Cause. Must This Conflict Continue For Generations, Or Will We Enable Our Children And Our Grandchildren To Speak In Years Ahead Of How We Found A Way To End It? That's What We Should Aim For, And That's What I Believe We Can Achieve.

I'm Very Proud Of The Fact That Israel Is The One Country In A Very Broad Radius That - In Which Arabs Have Free And Fair Elections. That's Sacrosanct. That Will Never Change. I Wasn't Trying To Suppress A Vote. I Was Trying To Get Something To Counter A Foreign-funded Effort To Get Votes That Are Intended To Topple My Party. And I Was Calling On Our Voters To Come Out.

Iran Is A Country That Talks About, Denies The Holocaust, Promises To Wipe Out Israel, Is Engaged In Terror Throughout The World. This Is A Regime That Is Giving Vent To The Worst Impulses That You See Right Now In The Middle East. They Deny The Rights Of Women, Deny Democracy, Brutalize Their Own People, Don't Give Freedom Of Religion.

The Iranian Acquisition Of Nuclear Weapons Would Be Infinitely More Costly Than Any Scenario You Can Imagine To Stop It.

Certainly The International Community Is Putting A Lot Of Pressure On Iran And Making Clear That Its Nuclear Program Must Stop. If It Stops With The Sanctions, The Combinations Of Sanctions, Diplomacy, Other Pressures, I, As The Prime Minister Of Israel, Will Be The Happiest Person In The World.
