Hillary Clinton and John Kerry have left the U.S. with better relations with Iran and Cuba and worse relations with allies like Israel.
We must openly call for the establishment of a Kurdish state that separates Iran from Turkey, one which will be friendly towards Israel.
There must be some security arrangement in the south of Lebanon so northern Israel is not threatened anymore.
I don't want to be the policeman of Lebanon. It's not the business of Israel. Israel was not created to serve as a policeman of the region.
I'm never going to give up - it's part of my lifeblood to help, protect, and defend Israel.
George W. Bush is long gone, and with him the idea that 'Israel can do no wrong.'
