Speaking at the annual Annual International Conference of the Institute for National Security Studies, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett says that “the campaign to weaken Iran” will be waged on a number of fronts.
He says that he hopes the nuclear talks in Vienna will not end in a bad deal, but even if it does lead to a deal, “Iran will remain Iran.” If Iran is given sanctions relief, Iran will only increase its harmful activities across the Middle East, he says.
Bennett says that Israel has to prepare for a world that doesn’t have only one policeman, and recognizes that America is focused on Russia and China. “That’s the reality,” says Bennett.
