We have an excellent president and a good prime minister, but unless decision-making ministers capable of translating decisions into actions gather around them, matters will remain stagnant.
The defect today must be examined within the government structure, as the delay in implementing Cabinet decisions must not become a fait accompli.
The Defense Department is a planning organization, and its mission is to develop military options and carry out whatever the President orders
This visit reaffirms our firm commitment to continue ensuring freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz
We continue to stand side by side with our partners in the Gulf and the maritime shipping sector
These elections are a defeat for the axis of lies and rumors and fake news
Brazilians voted to ensure democracy in the country
I perform ablution now before the eyes of the Israelis in this river, and we will pray in Jerusalem
The concept adopted by Benjamin Netanyahu, according to which another military strike on Iran will lead to a final victory, is a wrong and dangerous saying. A new attack will not bring down the Ayatollah's regime, but it may shake the pillars of Israel's national security, economy and international standing.
Israel has lost its political credibility in Europe, and in the United States, the Trump administration acts only on narrow American interests. Trump uses Israel as a pawn on the geopolitical chessboard, and at the moment of truth, Israel will discover that no one extends a helping hand or provides it with a political umbrella. On the contrary, European countries are deepening economic sanctions imposed on Israel.
Tehran will use all its military tools at maximum power. In coordination with Hezbollah, the Shiite militias in Iraq and the Houthis in Yemen, it will launch a barrage of missiles and drones at Israel, and these missiles and drones will directly target strategic civilian and military infrastructure, power generation plants, desalination plants, air force bases, and the destruction in large population centers will be catastrophic.
Not tonight
Netanyahu is knowingly leading the State of Israel toward international economic boycott and isolation, and all he has to offer the Israeli economy is a baffling solution acceptable to criminal organizations and of no use at all.
An act of madness
The State of Israel lives under a real and tangible existential danger. If the Iranians obtain nuclear weapons, nothing will matter anymore; everything will become trivial before the existential danger posed by Iran and (its Shiite axis).
I have issued my instructions to the Mossad and the Israeli army to topple the Iranian regime.
Yesterday, Netanyahu announced that American security aid had ended and that sanctions would crush our economy. And this morning, he posted a video showing an atomic bomb falling on Tel Aviv. This man has lost his mind. He must be sent home.
They will not destroy the Iranian nuclear program. We have completed 90 percent of the work, and 10 percent remains. Who will do it? Eisenkot and the Muslim Brotherhood? No. I alone can do it.
Our goal is not for one side to defeat the other. That is not our approach. We will work to bring Israelis together again, those who voted for us and those who did not.

Deep down, you too know that Israel cannot continue this way. Israel needs change.
Our goal is not for one side to defeat the other. That is not our way. We will bring Israelis together again, those who voted for us and those who did not.
Restricting weapons to the state and its legitimate institutions is a fundamental condition for a capable and just state that alone assumes responsibility for security and peace. We cannot demand safety while accepting at the same time multiple security authorities.
A stable state is built on centralizing weapons in the hands of its army, and our responsibility requires restoring consideration to production. Tripoli, with its energies and competencies, can be a key partner in Lebanon's renaissance if vision and management are available. There is no development without an effective state, and the state is not the property of a faction, sect, or team but belongs to all Lebanese and their shared reference.
Experience has proven that division protects no one and weakening the state protects no component.
severe blows beyond their imagination
a wounded scorpion that might resort to a final sting
I have issued my instructions to the Mossad and the Israeli army to topple the Iranian regime
The elections are about Israel's existence. We will strike Iran again. Iran wants me not to be elected. I issued instructions to Mossad and Shin Bet to overthrow the Iranian regime.
We will strike Iran again
