Netanyahu says he hopes Israel will make peace with Arab nations, ‘including the Palestinians’
“I have an important confession to make,” Netanyahu says amid slamming the Iranian nuclear deal.
“This may surprise you but I have to admit that the Iran deal has had one positive consequence. By empowering Iran, it brought Israel and many Arab states closer together than ever before, in an intimacy and friendship that I have not seen in my lifetime, and that would have been unthinkable a few years ago,” he says.
“Israel deeply values these new friendships, and I hope the day will soon arrive when Israel will extend a formal peace, beyond Egypt and Jordan, to other Arab nations, including the Palestinians.”
