In Israel, in order to be a realist you must believe in miracles.
Anyone who doesn't believe in miracles is not a realist.
If an expert says it can't be done, get another expert.

Don't be so humble - you are not that great.
A leader who doesn't hesitate before he sends his nation into battle is not fit to be a leader.
We do not rejoice in victories. We rejoice when a new kind of cotton is grown and when strawberries bloom in Israel.

We must think differently, look at things in a different way. Peace requires a world of new concepts, new definitions.
We do not celebrate the death of our enemies.

If a problem has no solution, it may not be a problem, but a fact - not to be solved, but to be coped with over time.
I worked with a group of people who argued day and night - professors, officials, the Minister of Finance - but there were decisions that I had to make.
I was learning, as I did in the Ministry of Defense. I never knew, but I always learned.

Israel may have the right to put others on trial, but certainly no one has the right to put the Jewish people and the State of Israel on trial.
Like all Israelis, I yearn for peace. I see the utmost importance in taking all possible steps that will lead to a solution of the conflict with the Palestinians.
We extend our hand towards peace. Our people are committed to peace. We know that peace entails painful compromise for both sides.

I'm not in power, but my ideas are in power. And my ideas will prevail.
For me to propose a division of Jerusalem was really terrible. I did it because I reached a conclusion that without which there will not be peace.
Peace is important for Israel.

Benjamin Netanyahu on Forbes Lists
Now in his fourth term as Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu has shown little interest in veering from the hardline security stances long associated with his name. In November his government brushed off proposed peace talks to be held in France, and the country continues to maintain a precarious relationship with its Palestinian neighbors following a 2014 50-day war against Hamas in Gaza that resulted in over 2,000 deaths. Netanyahu faced sharp international criticism for the conflict, as he has for Israel's disputed settlements in the West Bank, but his positions are unwavering--and with a supportive American president entering office, there will be little reason to bend. Though politics remain turbulent in his tiny Middle East country of 8 million people, innovation continues to thrive. Israel is dubbed "startup nation" and boasts the highest number of startups per capita in the world.
