Netanyahu:

An Iranian leader once said, "Israel is a one-bomb country. Drop one bomb on it, and it is finished."

Not only because you would kill several hundred thousand people in one strike, but because you would destroy the state.

It is very small, very concentrated. A nuclear bomb means the destruction of the state.

Netanyahu on Iran:

I came to Trump and said to him, "Here is what I am going to do."

I did not ask for your permission. Here is what I am going to do.

I am going to do this one way or another.

Take the B-2 and strike Fordow. That is what I am asking.

If you can, thank you. But in any case, we are going.

He joined on the tenth day.

The U.S. military fired roughly 19 years’ worth of Patriot interceptor purchases in about seven months of fighting against Iran.

CSIS estimates the U.S. had about 2,200–2,330 modern Patriot interceptors before the war and used around 1,060–1,500 of them, leaving roughly a third of its pre-war stockpile.

Before the war, the U.S. bought an average of only about 225 interceptors a year, while Lockheed Martin currently produces around 600–650 annually for the U.S. and its allies.

CSIS projects it will take at least three years to rebuild pre-war inventories, warning of a “window of vulnerability” in any conflict with China.

Netanyahu:

When I was a child, we used to get into fights in the neighborhood.

And I discovered a very simple rule: Whoever strikes first has an enormous advantage.

You go and punch the person who is coming to attack you, and you strike first.

An enormous advantage.

Gadi Eisenkot responds to Trump’s endorsement of Netanyahu, saying only Israeli citizens will decide the election.

Netanyahu:

If you want to survive, prepare for war.

If you want to prevent war, prepare for war.

If you want to prevent your enemies from striking you, strike them when necessary.

Netanyahu:

Our communications, energy, transportation, healthcare — everything operates on digital systems.

You can simply take control of them and paralyze a country.

You can paralyze the economy. You can paralyze life itself, from traffic lights onward.

Everything. Everything. Everything.

Netanyahu:

Our national security doctrine requires strengthening our independent ability to produce our own ammunition and weapons.

We can find partners for this, but the partners must be dependent on us, not us on them.

That is a very big difference.

And this rearmament must take place in industrial and technological facilities underground.

Netanyahu on Gaza:

In Gaza, you keep striking, striking, striking, eliminating the commanders, eliminating the Nukhba forces.

They are very afraid.

Netanyahu:

We have changed our approach to an offensive, proactive approach.

That is why we entered the refugee camps.

They were not refugee camps. They were actually terrorist fortresses.

We entered them, destroyed them, and we are staying inside.

Netanyahu:

I established the ground barrier between Israel and Africa along the Egyptian border.

It was primarily a barrier against infiltration.

Otherwise, there would already be another million Muslims here, and we would have been flooded like Europe.

Netanyahu:

We Israelis are the honey badger of nations.

Simply the honey badger of nations.

BIG: A Russian military satellite, Kosmos 2612, has been maneuvering to within 136 meters of the U.S.-registered ICEYE-X36 radar imaging satellite, according to satellite trackers, with a closer pass of about 48 meters predicted for Monday.

Dutch satellite tracker Marco Langbroek said a series of maneuvers since September 30 were designed to match the satellite’s orbit with ICEYE-X36’s.

Astronomer Jonathan McDowell called it the first known case of an active satellite making an uninvited close approach to another active satellite in low Earth orbit.

ICEYE, a Finnish company, has supplied radar imagery to Ukraine since 2022, though it is unclear whether this satellite serves Ukraine.

There are no signs of damage so far, and Russia’s intentions remain unclear.

NEW: Türkiye will receive some of the diesel Russia is releasing to global markets under its recent deal with the United States, Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar said.

Under the deal announced by Trump on October 9, Russia is set to supply more than 1.8 million tons of diesel in the coming months, with a U.S. license allowing the transactions through April 2027.

Russia supplied about 85% of Türkiye’s diesel imports in 2025, but Russian export restrictions this year pushed Ankara to buy record volumes from India and the U.S.

Netanyahu:

I invited Palmer Luckey here.

Palmer Luckey heads a company called Anduril, which I believe is the leading weapons manufacturing company in the United States.

He talks about the possibility of underground penetration.

He talks about unmanned systems underground.

Not systems that you launch into the ground, but systems that actually move through the ground.

Netanyahu:

There was a bombing of a Yandex center in Russia.

Sixty percent of the [online activity] coming from Russian actors working against us disappeared.

Netanyahu:

What is victory?

It is breaking the enemy's power and its belief in its ability to pose a real threat.

You influence the enemy first by breaking its capabilities, but also by breaking its spirit.

That is what delivers the result.

Netanyahu:

Perhaps when we reach the end of days, everyone will beat their swords into plowshares, and the Messiah will come.

But I can tell you with absolute certainty that this is not going to happen next Thursday.

We will have to live by our sword for many years.

Netanyahu:

Someone asked me, "Do you want Fortress Israel?"

I said, "Of course. Of course I do."

A country that does not control its borders does not control its future.

That is what we have seen in Europe.

Netanyahu responds to Trump's endorsement:

Only Trump and I will destroy Iran's nuclear program.
