PM says Israel will ‘do everything, but everything’ to prevent Tehran from getting nuclear weapons; Gantz: Differences should be solved discreetly, not with ‘defiant rhetoric’

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that if pushed to choose between a lack of friction with the US or defending the country against the nuclear threat from Iran, Israel will choose to confront the Islamic Republic.

Speaking at a ceremony at which control of the Mossad intelligence agency was handed over from outgoing director Yossi Cohen to his replacement David Barnea, Netanyahu said Israel must “do everything, but everything, in order to ensure that under no circumstance Iran arms itself with nuclear weapons.”

“The greatest threat against us is the existential threat which is presented by Iran’s attempt to arm itself with nuclear weapons,” Netanyahu said.

Faced with a choice between relations with the US or neutralizing Iran, “the elimination of the existential threat prevails,” he said.

Netanyahu said that whether Iran menaces Israel directly with the threat of destruction in a nuclear strike, or with tens of thousands of conventional rockets that are backed up by a nuclear threat, “it is a threat that threatens the continuation of the Zionist enterprise, and we must fight this threat endlessly.”

The prime minister noted that in his recent conversations with US President Joe Biden he had stressed that whether or not world powers manage to revive the 2015 deal that aimed to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, “we will continue to do everything we have at our disposal to thwart Iran’s armament with nuclear weapons.” In 2015, the US negotiation of the accord resulted in tensions between Netanyahu and then-president Barack Obama.

Following the comments, Defense Minister Benny Gantz released a statement touting Israel’s ties with the US and saying that differences should be solved discreetly and not with “defiant rhetoric.”

“The United States was and will continue to be Israel’s most important ally in maintaining its security and security superiority in the region. Israel has and will have no better partner than the US,” Gantz said. “Even if there are disagreements, they will be solved behind closed doors and not with defiant rhetoric that could harm Israel’s security.”

I dare you to try. With US, you are nothing. You call it a "nuclear threat from Iran", but common sense says that Iran is trying the defend itself against a nuclear threat from Israel.

But its fair Israel has nuclear weapons?

kaptaintintin:


Isreal has control over it's nuclear weapons, but can we say the same of Iran?

rottennaija:


So Iran will blow themselves up since they are children? How many countries with nuclear weapon that does not have control? The only reason they don't want Iran to have nuclear weapon is that they cannot be pushed around if they have it.

leksite120:
Don't mind them, most of them doesn't know that the reason they're stopping Iran from having nuclear is because they're not pushover,. Many people doesn't even know that Pakistan, which is even more religious extreme has nuclear, and I guess, they've blown themselves now, ND Iran is far more sophisticated and grown than Pakistan.
They're the most educated in the Middle East, they've a lot of scientists.


In the real sense , possessing a nuclear weapon is not to attack, it's to defend, no country will harass you no matter how small nuclear weapon you have. Y do u think USA has never harassed North Korea even though they're just an insect to the US.
