NOW: NATO's Rutte arrives in Ankara for the NATO Summit.

Netanyahu:

Iran is a nation of about 90 million. About 80% of them hate this regime.

But you still have quite a few million that they can bring to the streets.

And they are screaming, "Death to Trump" and "Death to me," of course.

Sami Hamdi | Geopolitical Analyst | The International Interest:
 

Ta-Nehisi Coates went to visit a Palestinian woman to vote for Kamala Harris & she told him Israel killed 200 of her family members.
 
He said convincing her to vote for Harris would have required giving up some of his own humanity so he didn't try to.
 
He said telling people to set aside genocide for "other issues" is something no African-American would have accepted during slavery.
 
In the UK, Starmer won a landslide - then resigned after council elections, because people no longer believe in a vision that tolerates genocide.
 
Politics is becoming more humanized. People are now asking candidates where they stand on moral issues.

FULL INTERVIEW

Q: Why is that government still standing in Iran?

Netanyahu: Because it has a few hundred thousand goons who kill, murder in broad daylight, and at night they murder their own people.

Netanyahu on Trump:

We see eye to eye just about everything, and sometimes as happens among the best of allies — and we are the best of allies — there can be differences of opinion.

We're your model ally.

Netanyahu on his upcoming visit to the U.S:

Well, we haven't yet set a date for the visit.

WATCH: Netanyahu on Türkiye:

I don't think they should be given F-35s or the engines for their fighter jets, because that'll upset the power balance in the Middle East, which is ultimately guaranteed by Israeli air superiority and also by, I think, America's posture in the Middle East.

Netanyahu on Türkiye:

They finance Hamas, they harbor Hamas. They roll out the red carpet for Hamas.

They're in fact supporting the bad guys.

Omsk is Russia's largest oil refinery, processing 21–22 million tons of oil per year.

It's now on fire.

Netanyahu on Türkiye:

Türkiye didn't lift a finger to help you in Iran.

We did. We fought next to your great soldiers.

Sami Hamdi | Geopolitical Analyst | The International Interest:
 

We forget how rapidly the world changes. Assad was supposed to be there forever. Syria today is on a different path - toward rebuilding.
 
Ben Ali of Tunisia was supposed to be there forever but a street vendor burned himself in protest & sparked an Arab Spring that toppled regimes across the region.
 
The outcomes weren't always what people hoped for. But the dictators fell - when nobody thought they would.
 
The natural progression of history is that the oppressed always wins. Even when you least expect it.

Sami Hamdi | Geopolitical Analyst | The International Interest:
 

In 1991 Mladić & Karadžić said there will be no Muslims left by the end of the war. But they ended up in the Hague.
 
Muslims of Bosnia are still there today, rebuilding & returning to ethnically cleansed areas, surviving a genocide against all odds.
 
You don't predict the future by who holds power today. You predict it by one simple metric: injustice doesn't last.
 
Israel tried to colonize Palestine for 78 years - with military superiority, British then American backing, superior technology.
 
But it still hasn't taken all of Palestine & is stuck in existential crisis, losing support because Palestinians keep standing in the way.
 
The real measure of power is not having weapons, but a people's willingness to sacrifice.
 
They sacrificed in Algeria - it became free. They sacrificed in Egypt - it became free. They are sacrificing in Palestine & it is destined to be free.

Trump:

We have the press. They don't want to know anything about soccer/football. They won't be asking any questions on that.

Nobody cares about that, right?

I was with President Xi three weeks ago.

He agrees that we have the greatest military anywhere in the world.
