Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu virtually addresses an AIPAC conference, saying he looks forward to working with the Biden administration on the issue of Iran.
Netanyahu says that today, “because of the brave men and women of Iran, the entire world sees what we’ve been talking about, that this is a terrible, repressive, terrorist regime.”
“It’s time to close ranks between Israel and the United States – and others,” he adds. “And I look forward to discussing this issue with President Biden and his team. I think there is more of a meeting of the minds today than there has ever been.”
