Nuclear Ambition

" President Obama is back at the White House this morning and he'll be meeting with Israel's prime minister Iran's nuclear ambition. Will be very high on the agenda the two men holding very different views on how to handle one of the biggest threats to Israel's security. And to America's security as well. President Obama is pushing open dialogue with the rogue nation but Israel is getting closer to taking action. We're talking about it anyway threatening to destroy Tehran's nuclear program for good. -- man as the former Israeli ambassador to the United Nations he joins us now live. From Tel Aviv good to see mr. ambassador how is this talk on ago especially when it comes to around -- I mean this is a country after all whose leader has promised. Wipe Israel off them. What -- the president's aide to prime minister Netanyahu to make it better about the situation with a."

" What I certainly think that this is probably the most crucial meeting between the president of the United States and an Israeli prime minister. In many many decades. Simply because then me being won the world is at its most horribly. Dangerous -- probably ever since would -- to. And I hope that President Obama. -- realized that the Israeli prime minister comes within not within -- agenda item -- over interest but with -- real anxiety. And a sense of urgency. About the collapse that he'll -- you -- the nuclear. As the nuclear power I hope that the president realizes what -- horribly dangerous world. He was selected to be the leader -- And that he realizes the urgency of the situation and therefore if he does I think those two leaders will have a very very important meeting in which. They will. Come out gulf having embarked on that course which will make it impossible. For that crazy lunatic. Extremist regime in Iraq who. Denies the whole of course what preparing the next one and threatens to wipe Israel the face of the map is a threat to its Arab neighbors and the western civilization. To be stopped and it."

" there are some I've read who say that the president needs prime minister Obama. More than the other way around does prime minister Netanyahu had the upper hand. When these two men sit down and meet later today at the White House."

" I don't think it's a -- girl who was kind of the couple on and you know these them all to rest of those who have climbing into the ring. Trying to bring each other down these two friends. -- he does both very friendly nations who have a history. All very special relationship based on common values and morals and democracy. And history and therefore I believe that they get into that room opt for a fist fight. But that two people are very frank talk about the world we live and it's dangerous and how to handle them I I think that. Obviously Israel needs the United States as an ally as a friend. The same time the US and President Obama. Doesn't need a strong democratic Israel and this very -- island very tough neighborhood we live and in this very. Crazy region of the Middle East how about the president's upcoming speech in Egypt on June 4 where he's expected to extend."

" A welcome sign to the Muslim world this is a Muslim world that in large part. Hates this stated Israel. Do Israelis view president Obama's speech. To the Muslim world as a slap in the face at all or did they understand why he's doing."

" No we fully understand and appreciate why the president is doing it I think the president already has. -- no growth speech has made a gesture. For the world. He has. Offered an outstretched hand. But that is if his opponents put on clinch their fists. And I am not sure that most of the Arab and Muslim world certainly not the moderate Muslim world. Thieves in Israel and and then the and the threat and hates as well I think in recent years and especially. And the last year they've come to realize whether -- dangerous they realize is whether -- not the threat to them and even realize that the Israeli Palestinian problem. Is not the core issue and won't make or other problems go way they more than anybody else. Realized who that the real threat is -- and extremism. That country that has -- federations to bring back bush matrimony. Over the our states and indeed Egypt and president Mubarak who. The president will meet and probably threatened. By that patrimony more than most of our State's I think the president is doing the right thing and I am sure his methods will be one that will. Unite the Arab world against extremist of them. And behind the moderate stimulant and as the former Israeli ambassador to the United Nations joining us today from Tel Aviv thanks very much for your time sir."
