Prime Minister Bennett to President Biden: "We're in the Toughest Neighborhood in the World"
(Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs) Prime Minister Naftali Bennett met with U.S. President Joe Biden at the White House on Friday and said: "We cannot lose sight for even one moment that we're in the toughest neighborhood in the world. We've got ISIS on our southern border. Hizbullah on our northern border, Islamic Jihad, Hamas, Iranian militias that surround us." "All of them want to kill us, kill Israelis. They all want to annihilate the Jewish state. And that's why Israel always has to be overwhelmingly stronger than any of our enemies, and indeed, of all our enemies combined." "Iran is the world's number one exporter of terror, instability and human rights violations....We have got to stop them, and we both agree about that. So we have developed a comprehensive strategy." "The first goal is to stop Iran's regional aggression and start rolling it back....The second is to permanently keep Iran away from ever being able to break out to a nuclear weapon." "Israel never has and never will ask America to send troops to defend it. That's our job. We will never outsource our security. It's our responsibility to take care of our fate." "But we do thank you for the tools and the backing you've been and are giving us."
