Today you performed even better than the Patriot systems for our citizens who are in the capital.

Thank you — come more often. And our people will have the opportunity to live a little longer.

Enough with this fake statesmanship.

For too many years, we’ve wanted to look nice to the world—how beautiful we are, how sweet we are—but it gives us nothing.

When we come with determination and say, "This is how it’s going to be," and those who come, for example, are supporters of terrorism, and the terrorists in our prisons suffer—well, it works.

Ten times they tried to murder me. Why?

Why did they try so hard to kill me? They are afraid.

Israel is stronger than ever, our enemies are weaker than ever.

Together with the United States, we achieved enormous achievements in removing an existential threat, including nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles, from above our heads.

I say to our enemies: don’t mess with us.

Right now, our nation is the strongest power in the Middle East, and some say beyond it.

We are constantly eliminating terrorists in Lebanon, Gaza, and Judea and Samaria (West Bank).

There is still more to be done.

This regime in Iran — its end is near.

It is weak, it is fighting for its life, it is staggering, and there is still a mission to complete that we are determined to carry out.

This will ultimately change the face of the Middle East and the course of history.

They are not attacking us.

Iran avoids this and it knows why: because if they make that mistake and attack us then they will suffer a blow they can't even imagine.

They now want to organize another flotilla now.

What did they say? "There is a crazy minister there. When he leaves, we will organize another flotilla."

They are waiting until after the elections to set the next flotilla.

The pictures from the prisons are what prevent terror attacks.

Those are the pictures that a young person in the West Bank or Gaza sees and says, "Wait, wait, wait…"

There used to be hotels, marmalade and chocolate in Israeli prisons.

Today, under Ben Gvir, there’s hell—and we don’t want to go there.

Over the past year, I think we've become stronger. Our guys are doing a great job, giving diplomacy a chance.

Without a strong position on the battlefield, a strong Ukrainian position, there will only be ultimatums. But today, diplomacy is possible.

The constant terror we've seen in recent days is a new tactic by Putin before the elections.

We will respond.

I think we made a lot of progress in Moscow. We heard new ideas.

You heard President Zelensky talk about a trilateral that we're hopeful will be announced in short order. There were all kinds of other important cogent ideas that we discussed in Moscow, brought here to Kyiv.

We think that collaboration is critical. That's why you see the NSA's from the E3 here today. We brought members of our team who are dug in on finding the solution here.

It's going to take both sides to make some compromises and narrow the issues between them. And we think we have the ingredients to get to that place.

We're committed, we care, and we hope all of that leads to a successful, peaceful, diplomatic resolution.

I've made about 8 visits to Moscow to meet with Putin and his team.

We've always been treated respectfully by President Putin and his team. Relationships are critical in terms of solving conflicts like this.

If you don't have relationships with both sides, and you have poor communication, then you probably have very, very little chance of getting to a peaceful resolution.

We came to see President Putin first. We needed to hear where he stood. We had good concrete conversation with him, which we advised President Zelensky and his team about.

Both sides have to come to a resolution here. My job and Jared's job together is to bring the parties together, to narrow the issues between them, to create good communication channels.

We began that process constructively in the last 48 hours. And we're confident that there'll be a good resolution there.
