Bibi: Strike on Iran to be Welcomed by Arabs

Local Editor

"Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sought on Tuesday to convince Arab states that an "Israeli" military strike on Iran would benefit them, removing a potential threat and easing tensions across the Middle East.
Netanyahu has made a number of veiled threats to attack Iran's nuclear program and has appealed to the United States and the United Nations to set a limit for Tehran on its further development.

In an interview published on Tuesday with French magazine Paris Match, Netanyahu said such a strike would not worsen regional tensions, as many critics have warned.

"Five minutes after, contrary to what the skeptics say, I think a feeling of relief would spread across the region," he said.
Netanyahu further claimed "Iran is not popular in the Arab world, far from it, and some governments in the region, as well as their citizens, have understood that a nuclear armed Iran would be dangerous for them, not just for "Israel"."

"Your enemies keep away when they know that you won't hesitate one minute to defend yourself," he told the magazine. "That is how I have been able to preserve the peace so far. I hope that I will one day have the opportunity to seal the peace."
