Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that the Jewish state is actively being courted by the other nations of the world because of its impressive record against terror, its technological edge as a super power and its overtures to peace in the Middle East.

Netanyahu spoke to more than 50 international Jewish journalists last night at the Foreign Ministry Building. The journalists had gathered at the invitation of the state to be part of the second Jewish Media Summit that concluded today.

In his remarks Netanyahu referred to the three points of terror, technology and peace as “T.T.P.”

“For these reasons Israel’s place in the world is changing at a dazzling pace,” he pronounced, jokingly apologizing for being the bearer of such good news about Israel.

“You can see the changes just in the last year,” he continued pointing to a map of the world colored in blue to acknowledge those countries that have full fledged diplomatic recognition and economic partnerships with Israel.

“Of course with the United States we have an incredible relationship,” Netanyahu acknowledged. He praised the recent $38 billion memo of understanding the two countries recently signed.
