‘If a Palestinian state is established, Israel is finished’: Key takeaways from Netanyahu’s remarks
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has said “if a Palestinian state is established, Israel is finished.”
Key takeaways from Netanyahu’s remarks:
- I said that if nuclear bombs fall into Iran’s hands, that will be the end of the State of Israel and the end of the Jewish people.
- Reality is changing rapidly. One power declines, another rises. But the most important power that must rise is ours, Netanyahu said of Turkey.
- I cannot bring into the government people who want to establish a Palestinian state. If you establish a Palestinian state, you are finished.
- During the war, they told us: “Leave the Gaza Strip and the hostages will be released.” I told them: “I will free all the hostages the opposite way — through force.”
- Israel is not leaving the Gaza Strip. There will be no reconstruction of the Gaza Strip until Hamas is dismantled and all of Gaza is demilitarized. This is our security. This is our existence. Security comes above everything else.
- I want Israel to become an industrial superpower in the production of weapons and ammunition, so that others will come to us. India and Germany are turning to us in this regard.
- We will become the world’s third AI superpower. We are not competing with the United States or China, but we are competing with every other country.
