On last night's The Kelly File, newly re-elected Benjamin Netanyahu shed light on the difference between leading as the prime minister of Israel and the president of the United States:
“I was once asked: What’s the difference between the president of the United States and the prime minister of Israel?" Netanyahu told Fox News' Megyn Kelly. "And I said, Megyn, that the president of the United States, I believe, is always concerned about the security of the United States, but the prime minister of Israel… and I can speak personally in the nine years that I’ve been in office, there’s not been a day, a day, that I haven’t thought about the things I have to do to protect the survival of Israel."
"And that’s the difference,” he said.
Netanyahu went on to say, "We're the country that's most threatened with destruction around the world, and it's my responsibility to ensure that this state—the one and only Jewish state—lives forever."
"And that's a big burden, but that's why I'm here," he said. "That's why I was elected."
