Netanyahu: Iran is ‘celebrating’ over the ‘weak’ incoming Israeli government
Netanyahu says Iran is “celebrating” because Israel now has a “weak government.”
“From the moment the US returns to the nuclear deal with Iran, the incoming government won’t approve significant operations in Iran,” says Netanyahu. “A government that is not able to forcefully oppose the international community on the pressing issues for our fate is not worthy of leading Israel.”
Netanyahu says the Biden administration is demanding a settlement freeze in the West Bank and East Jerusalem and has begun pushing for peace talks.
“How will we fight the establishment of a Palestinian state when a majority of the government supports it?” says Netanyahu.
