WATCH: ‘Rise and kill him first’ – Netanyahu invokes ancient proverb

Prime Minister Netanyahu invoked an ancient Jewish principle to deliver a stark warning, vowing Israel will always act preemptively rather than wait to be struck.

Netanyahu:

Security is not achieved through words.

Security is achieved through strength and determination.

According to one simple rule.

Our ancestors knew it:

"If someone comes to kill you, rise up and kill him first." pic.twitter.com/GwtvVWyZAT
