Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that anyone who owns a mobile phone is, in fact, holding a piece of Israel in their hands, praising Israel’s ability to produce medicines, weapons, and mobile phones.

During a meeting with a delegation from the U.S. Congress in western Jerusalem, Netanyahu said: “Americans should realize the extent of the benefits they receive from Israel,” referring to mobile phones, medicines, and food products.
Netanyahu defended Israel against what he described as allegations of isolation, following rising international criticism of military operations in Gaza and restrictions on weapons shipments to the country. He said: “Some countries have stopped shipments of weapons components, but can we get out of this situation? Yes, we can. We excel at producing weapons.”
He added: “As is the case with intelligence we share with the United States, a large part of your intelligence information comes from Israel, and we also share our weapons systems with the U.S.”
He then spoke about Israeli exports, addressing the delegation: “Do you have mobile phones? You are holding a piece of Israel in your hands. Many phones, medicines, and food products come from Israel. Do you eat cherry tomatoes? Did you know they are an Israeli product? Personally, I don’t like them, but like many other products we export.”
Netanyahu explained that these products represent Israeli contributions “for the benefit of all humanity” and demonstrate Israel’s capacity for production and manufacturing.
He emphasized that Israel will seek greater independence from foreign suppliers, saying: “Ultimately, we will achieve the independence we need, so that those in Western Europe who think they can deprive us of what we need will not succeed. We are capable of breaking this blockade, and we will do it.”
