“Iran does not represent an existential threat, there are many more threats and we know how to deal with them,” she tells Walla News. “We want a complete stop to Iran’s nuclearization. The question is what is the best and most stable way to do it. Is it the isolation that the Prime Minister has created against the whole world? I think not. The correct way is to join hands with our central ally the United States.”
