(Communicated by the Prime Minister's Media Adviser)
 
Following is an excerpt from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's remarks this morning (Thursday, 10 September 2015), at the start of his meeting in London with British Prime Minister David Cameron:
 
"I look forward to discussing with you everything you mentioned - three specific areas:

First security. The Middle East is disintegrating under the twin forces of militant Islam: the militant Sunnis led by ISIS and the militant Shiites led by Iran. And I believe that we can cooperate in practical ways to roll back the tide of militant Islam both in the Middle East and in Africa altogether.
 
Secondly, and no less important, peace. I want to say here in 10 Downing Street, and reaffirm again that I am ready to resume direct negotiations with the Palestinians with no conditions whatsoever to enter negotiations, and I'm willing to do so immediately.
 
The third point is technology - the future belongs to those who innovate. Britain and Israel are two great centers of technology. Israel is a global hub of innovation, especially in cyber security. And I think that if we pull our resources together we can offer a better future and great prosperity."
