PM Netanyahu: Israel's security, etc. not the top concern of those attacking me - I am being attacked for defending Israel

...our supreme interests, with security and the unity of Jerusalem first and
foremost, are not among the top concerns of those anonymous elements that
are attacking us and me personally, because the attack on me comes only
because I am defending the State of Israel.
Excerpt from PM Netanyahu's Remarks at the Special Knesset Session in Memory
of Rechavam Zeevy

(Communicated by the Prime Minister's Media Adviser)

Following is an excerpt from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's remarks
today (Wednesday, 29 October 2014), at the special Knesset session in memory
of the late Rechavam Zeevy:

"Thank you Mister Speaker for your important and moving remarks. I think
that they reflect the feelings of very many of Israel's citizens. When
Israel is pressured to make concessions on its security, it is very easy to
give in. There are ovations and ceremonies on lawns – and afterwards come
the missiles and the tunnels.

As Prime Minister,

+ I am responsible for Israel's security.

+ I care about the lives of every citizen and soldier.

+ I have been on the battlefield many times.

+ I have risked my life for the country and

I AM NOT PREPARED TO MAKE CONCESSIONS THAT WILL ENDANGER OUR STATE.

It must be understood that our supreme interests, with security and the
unity of Jerusalem first and foremost, are not among the top concerns of
those anonymous elements that are attacking us and me personally, because
the attack on me comes only because I am defending the State of Israel.

If I did not defend the State of Israel, if I did not vigorously uphold our
national and security interests, they would not attack me.

And despite all the attacks against me I will continue to defend our state.

I will continue to defend the citizens of Israel.

I would also like to add that I respect and appreciate our deep ties with
the US. Since the foundation of our state we have had disagreements with the
US and we will yet have them. But this is not at the expense of the deep
ties between our peoples and countries. And we see this again and again,
including this year, in the rise in support for the State of Israel among
the American public, support that has reached an all-time high. The
strategic alliance, and the alliance in values, between the two countries is
continuing and will continue."
