“Israel is surrounded by real, serious and constantly developing threats. There’s no belittling even the smallest of them. But you cannot forget that despite [those threats], the State of Israel is militarily the strongest country for 1,500 km (930 miles).”

(Former Prime Minister of Israel Ehud Barak speaking at a conference for the social movement Darkenu in Rishon Lezion, 17/08/2016)
