Naftali Bennett

I have one identity, and that's Israeli and Jewish. I don't view myself as an American citizen.

Factually, the Temple Mount is the precise location of the Temple. It's the holiest place in the world for Jews. It's the third holiest place for Muslims. And we need to respect each others' rights, freedom of religion.

In a perfect world, there would be freedom of religion and freedom for all religions to exercise their religion everywhere.

Jews have been living in Jerusalem way before British people were living in London.

The Israeli public is frustrated with the way it is portrayed abroad.

People think that Israelis are mean, evil people who only want to hurt Arabs all day.

As soldiers in Israel's army, one of the most grueling training regimens we had to endure was a long march while carrying a comrade on a stretcher.

In my previous career as a chief executive of high-tech companies, I experienced firsthand the endless possibilities when people from diverse backgrounds work together. They get to know one another and quickly learn that they share more in common than they originally thought.

The Israeli government has already established a fund to encourage young Arab women, specifically from the Bedouin community, to study engineering. We are funding their university studies and providing them with mentors who assist them with their studies and the job placement process.

Historically, the National Religious Party, which my party - Jewish Home - is built upon, has aligned itself in consecutive Israeli governments with the ultra-Orthodox factions.

Israel now has a reputation around the world of being not just a place to develop products and technology but to develop ideas.

It's no secret that I wear a kippa.

I opened about a dozen employment centers for Arab women across Israel during my two years as minister of economy.

No country in the world is going to recognize that Ariel and Maaleh Adumim and Beit El are a sovereign part of Israel.

I want the world to understand that a Palestinian state means no Israeli state. That's the equation.

I want every Israeli child, secular and religious, to know about Moses, about Maimonides, about Yoni Netanyahu, about Hannah Senesh and S. Y. Agnon. I want every child to know how to read the Bible, and know how to make Kiddush.

I spent most of my career in hi tech, not in politics.

Things are expensive, very expensive in Israel for many reasons. One of the reasons is our ports. It's a monopoly. They run very poorly. And we have ships that are stuck in the ocean for three or four days or a week, and all that cost is transferred to the products and the consumer.

Israel, contrary to most of the West, has a high fertility rate, so there's a lot of young people in Israel. Most families have three kids as opposed to one or two, so a big proportion of the population is under 30.

Israel is not the safest place in the world for Jews. Melbourne in Australia is better. Teaneck, New Jersey, is safer.

Netanyahu's raison d'etre is to save Israel from Iran. That is it. That is his mission in the most profound sense. I have seen it up close.

Sooner or later, Israel will have to defeat Hamas. There is no way around it.

We know that 99.9% of Arab-Israelis are loyal to Israel.

Let's be honest: discrimination against Arabs exists in Israel.

Europe, the U.S., and their allies can defeat the terrorists of Islamic State, or ISIS. The first step is making the decision to fight back. The next step is understanding that drones and standoff missiles will not be enough. Ground troops will be needed.

I'm not prepared to give up the truth for popularity.

If you truly believe in a united Jerusalem, deeds have to be more than words. We need a real united Jerusalem. It takes determination, audacity, and money to provide full services and law enforcement in the entire city.

I come from the hi-tech world - you don't survive if you don't constantly reinvent yourself every few years.

I think Gadi Eizenkot is a very good commander.

You don't start shooting rockets at Israel and expect that we'll just sit back supinely and die.

Conscientious objection is an intrinsic part of being a soldier.

I'll remind you that the West signed a deal with North Korea, said it would make the world a safer place, and, of course, all the words evaporated, and North Korea acquired nuclear weapons.

There are no second chances in the volatile Middle East.

Europe is especially vulnerable to terrorists who may hide among the refugees pouring across its borders.

The West has demonstrated its ability in the past to project power and move troops to distant regions.

I know that 'boots on the ground' is a scary phrase and that the Western world has gotten used to sterile attacks.

Judea and Samaria can be a place of refuge for the nation.

Israel is not Vegas, and it will not be.

Hamas has effectively kidnapped Gaza. Instead of turning it into the Singapore of the Middle East that was promised, they have turned it into a fortress of terror.

Israel is the vanguard of the free world against the Islamic terrorism of ISIS, Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iran.

The prime minister is not a private individual, but the leader of the Jewish State and the Jewish world as a whole.

Israel is stronger than all those who curse it.

There is no one single solution to eradicate phishing.

I want to do good for Israel. My philosophy is let's do good stuff, and let's see what happens. And que sera, sera.

The reality is, if you were fortunate to be born to rich parents, you have a better chance of succeeding in life. And that's wrong.

I myself have felt the wrath of the media, but that's part of what a good democracy is.

You can't build a society without law.

I don't see any difference between Judea and Samaria and the rest of the country.

I would never take my children and place them next to missile launchers.

I am proud of religious Zionism. I am proud of the members of religious Zionism because it is a true ideological public.
