We will not waste time on partial treatments of extremism, as history proves their futility.

There are more than a million weapons in Arab society, and it is impossible to deal with this phenomenon with current means. We will present a comprehensive and unprecedented plan to combat weapons in Arab society, including temporary emergency legislation and activating the General Security Service (Shin Bet) to address this issue.

The war will end very, very soon.

Iran will have an opportunity to make a very quick decision to abandon those nuclear ambitions at the negotiating table, or face the destruction that America can bring, and will bring quickly if necessary.
