"Whoever does not identify with the fact that the State of Israel is Jewish and democratic will not be willing to fight on its behalf in the diplomatic arena," says foreign minister.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is currently in the U.S., and today he addressed the 2014 American Israel Policy Affairs Committee-AIPAC Policy Conference. The Israeli leader reiterated his warning about the danger of a nuclear Iran, demanded Palestinian recognition of the Jewish state and declared that he "will never gamble" with security."
