Netanyahu: Only Israel will stop Iran threat

If Israel does not eliminate the Iranian threat, no one will, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday. “Israel is not like other countries. We are faced with security challenges that no other country faces, and our need to provide a response to these is critical, and we are answering the call...These are not regular times. The danger is hurtling toward us. The real danger in underestimating the threat...My job is first and foremost to ensure the future of the state of Israel ... the leadership’s job is to eliminate the danger. Who will eliminate it? It is us or no one.” “Our relationship with the United States is of great importance,” Netanyahu said. “Our situation today is different from our situation between 1996 and 1999. Our priorities must be inline with national security needs and we must unite in order to deflect the danger. The Defense Minister and I are working in coordination; he is not conducting an independent policy.”
