Netanyahu said refraining from weighing on in Iran protests so Tehran doesn’t deflect blame on Israel
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided not to publicly weigh in on the ongoing protests in Iran due to concern that this will offer the Islamic Republic an excuse to target Israel in order to distract from the country’s economic woes.
The network says that the decision came following a briefing Netanyahu held on the matter at his hotel in West Palm Beach.
“We’re watching dramatic domestic events in Iran, but it’s too early to tell what the ramifications will be,” a senior Israeli official tells Channel 12.
