Netanyahu: "No one should doubt Israel's strength or its ability to defend itself"

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah's speech in which he threatened to conquer Galilee in next war, at the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations gathering in Jerusalem.
"Whoever hides in a bunker should stay in the bunker, No one should doubt Israel's strength or its ability to defend itself" 
"We have a strong army, We seek peace with all of our neighbors, but the IDF is prepared to defend Israel from any of its enemies."
Netanyahu also discussed the protests in Egypt.
"No one knows what the future holds for Egypt, In Washington they don't know, in Tehran they don't know, and even the columnists in The New York Times don't know.... 
Israel is interested in a democratic Egypt that will live peacefully with its neighbors."
"On the other hand, the leaders in Tehran want to see a different Egypt, that is ruled by Iranians that oppress human rights. They don't want an Egypt that looks to the 21st century, but one that looks to the ninth century.....Egypt that supports Iran will support terror".
