Speaking to international press in Jerusalem, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar says that “the most important question by far, for the future of this region, for the security of the State of Israel, is to avoid Iran getting a nuclear weapon.”
He says the issue is the most important topic of discussion in meetings between the Israeli prime minister and the American president-elect.
“President Trump made it clear during the time of his electoral campaign that he understands very well the dangers of that nuclear Iranian project,” says Sa’ar. “I’m sure that we will be able to work together to stabilize the region, in order to guarantee the future of the region.”
