PM Netanyahu On Remarks By Iranian President Rouhani
The President has changed but the goal of the regime has not: To achieve nuclear weapons in order to threaten Israel,
the Middle East and the peace and security of the entire world.
(Communicated by the Prime Minister's Media Adviser)
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, today (Friday, 2 August 2013), responded to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani remarks
in which he was cited as saying that Israel "has been a wound on the body of the Islamic world for years and should be
removed."
"Rouhani's true face has been revealed earlier than expected. Even if they will now rush to deny his remarks, this is
what the man thinks and this is the plan of the Iranian regime. These remarks by President Rouhani must rouse the world
from the illusion that part of it has been caught up in since the Iranian elections. The President there has changed but
the goal of the regime has not: To achieve nuclear weapons in order to threaten Israel, the Middle East and the peace
and security of the entire world. A country that threatens the destruction of the State of Israel must not be allowed to
possess weapons of mass destruction," the Prime Minister said.
