  • The alliance of democracies is important to secure our common future, I believe possibilities are endless. In this visit, we have discussed how we can strengthen our two nations in civilian, security and in every area
The future belongs to those who innovate: Israel PM Netanyahu

  • I was astounded to know that PM Modi has moved India in the scale of ease of doing business 42 places in three years
  • Our main job, both India and Israel, is to cut the bureaucracy 
  • The growth of military power depend automatically on the economic power.
  • The future belongs to those who innovate
  • We've transformed our centralised economy into a free market economy
  • The minute we created this climate of entrepreneurship, there was place for talent
  • We've achieved that transition to a more liberal economy
  • The countries that will seize the future will be those who innovate 
The weak don't survive, the strong survive, you make alliances with the strong, you are able to maintain peace by being strong. So, therefore the first requirement from our the time of our first PM was to achieve minimal strength required to assure existence: Israel PM Netanyahu
