Netanyahu: As Prime Minister, I stand firm with regard to Israel’s security. I care
about the lives of each and every citizen and each and every soldier. I
have been on battlefields many times. I risked my life for this
country, and I am not prepared to make concessions that will endanger
it. And it must be understood, our supreme interests, first and
foremost security and the unity of Jerusalem, are not the top priority
of those same anonymous sources that attack us and me personally.
I am being attacked only because I am protecting the State of Israel.
If I did not protect the State of Israel, if I did not stand up
decisively for our national and security interests, they would not
attack me. And despite the attacks I face, I will continue to protect
our country; I will continue to protect the citizens of Israel.

Julie Bishop: Feminism 'not a term I find particularly useful'!
Australia's foreign minister Julie Bishop comments as she addressed the National Press Club in Canberra-
Bishop on feminism:
"It's not a term that I find particularly useful these days. I recognize the role it's played and the barriers and challenges overcome by the women's movement. I don't reject the term but it's not a word I'd use to describe myself."
Bishop on the seemingly disconnected relationship between feminism and conservative politicians:
"With respect I think you're over analyzing it. [Feminism] is just not a term I use. It's because I have a pathological dislike for the term, I just don't use it. It's not part of my lexicon. It just isn't. And I don't think anyone should take offence to that and read into it. I'm a female politician – get over it."
