[0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=8) And Netanyahu lays out his political doctrine to his hosts, without quotation marks, without masks. [0:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=13) We're now beginning to understand what the slogan means “There’s a line.” [0:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=17) There’s a line on this, a red line. Rabin, Arafat wants—wants one big settlement, it's called Tel Aviv. [0:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=23) Yeah, that's what I understood, that she came from England, says that Tel Aviv is a settlement too. [0:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=28) As far as they’re concerned, as far as they’re concerned, I think even their territorial waters. [0:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=32) Certainly. But they want them at sea, yes, they're at sea. [0:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=36) The Arabs are currently waging a culture war, I think that will break them. [0:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=40) Not the main thing. First, give them a beating, not just one blow, blows so painful that the price will be unbearable. [0:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=50) Right now, the price isn't unbearable. An attack, I clapped, but the Palestinian Authority. [0:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=56) That was—to scare them it all fell. They're not afraid, dealing with them, shot us the result, he'll sit here and laugh and— afraid that everything— they just aren't afraid. [1:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=64) That's what we'll bring, we'll bring them to— And then, right now, but, but, but then once again, the world will understand what you demand. [1:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=70) The world won't understand. It'll say— Aren't you afraid of the world, Bibi? [1:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=74) No. Especially with America, I know what America is. [1:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=76) America isn't something you can easily move, in the right direction. [1:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=80) But they say they're on our side, but, like— They won't get in our way, won't. [1:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=85) So when I say they do something, then they— Today, I assume they understand something, but they say that eighty percent of America supports us. [1:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=93) Absurd. There's such support there, and we say, what are we going to do with the… [1:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=97) We'll see. The next administration will be radically pro-Palestinian. [1:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=101) I wasn't afraid to confront them there, I wasn't afraid to confront Clinton, I wasn't afraid to confront Obama. [1:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=106) The price? I pay the international price, so I might as well get something in return. [1:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=110) In return for the post. Oslo, fine, we gave them something in return and—right. [1:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=114) That is, we couldn't give them back if they gave us nothing back. [1:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=117) First of all, Oslo, Oslo—it's a system… You're right. [2:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=120) Arafat doesn't know what can be taken—he has political opinions, believe me. He's right. [2:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=124) He told Ariel Sharon things I told him, That's not, that's not a child's opinion. [2:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=128) The Oslo Accords are a disaster. Yes, You know that, and I know that. [2:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=132) Good, I thought the PM—someone knows. Right, but I thought the prime minister would know and do everything to somehow avoid doing critical things like withdrawing from Hebron. [2:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=143) What was Oslo about? The Oslo Accords that the Knesset signed, They asked me if they were valid. I said they were valid, subject to reciprocity and limiting withdrawals. [2:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=153) But how did we limit the withdrawals? I will interpret the agreement in a way that lets me stop this division toward the '67 lines. [2:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=162) How did we do that? The Oslo Accords said Israel would gradually hand over territory to the Palestinians in three separate stages, unless there were settlements or military sites in those areas. [2:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=174) Here, Bibi spots a loophole. No one said what “defined military sites” meant. [2:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=179) Defined military sites, I said, are security zones. [3:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=182) The moment of truth, to me, is a military site. [3:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=185) Right. That’s— No one—A Beit She’an local, driver. [3:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=187) You go tell him, you go tell him. But then the question, Who would define what “defined military sites” meant? [3:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=196) I received a letter, a secret letter, to me and Arafat in the same wording, saying that Israel, and Israel alone, would define what they were, and the locations of these military sites and their size. [3:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=216) Now, they didn’t want that letter, so I didn’t hand over the Camp David Accords. [3:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=220) I stopped the cabinet meeting, I said, “I’m not, I’m not signing.” [3:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=224) Only when the letter arrived, not for the meeting, but to me and Arafat, did I sign the Camp David Accords. I was left with all the challenges. [3:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=234) Why is this important? Because at that moment, I essentially stopped the Oslo Accords. [4:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=240) And yet, one of our own, excuse me, who knew it was a fraud and that we were going to commit suicide with the Oslo Accords, uh, gives them the state of Beit Hebron. [4:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=250) That was once— Beit Hebron, this is happening. [4:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=253) It happens. That's my thing. One of the famous rabbis I really like, he's the rabbi of the Land of Israel, asked me, “What would your father say?” [4:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=261) I went to my father. You know a little about my father's views. [4:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=265) Yes. I am— He had never met him. He wasn't exactly, not exactly a dove, right? No, we appreciate him very much. [4:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=273) So I heard the question and said, “Tell him, Rabbi, that your grandfather, Rabbi Natan Mikotsky, was a wise Jew. [4:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=280) Tell him it's better to give two percent than to give one hundred percent. [4:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=285) And that was the choice there, against the sites… [4:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=288) You gave the two percent, and that way you stopped that retreat at two percent instead of one hundred percent. [4:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=294) The wisdom is not to be there and break. [4:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=297) The wisdom is to be there and pay a considerable price. [5:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=300) Truly, honor to the government. I wish that— No, but he needs to. [5:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=306) Thank you very much. Thank you very much. [5:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=308) I'm glad I took part. Are you filming this? [5:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=315) Yes. Let's see. Oh, oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh, oh. Endless shame. [5:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rpr6942ZyXVa/en/netanyahu-on-the-oslo-accords-palestinians-and-the-united-states?t=321) There's no end to shame. Well done. Well done.
