Benjamin Netanyahu

" A President Obama met with Palestinian authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In the latest effort to start a dialogue between the two longtime adversaries. Following that meeting I talked with prime minister Netanyahu about Iran. And whether the US has given Iran another deadline to come clean about its nuclear program. "

" What I heard from personal qualities if you just wanna have you on just. Don't always the -- he understands. He's. It has to be clear. Find out resolved within a given amount of time to see if there is a serious about stopping the nuclear program but you don't have a new date. Well put it this way five cents good. I heard clarity. No the question of course. Whether -- Iran understands this sport and what's most important is that if it doesn't. That international community with a with a the Security Council -- Very forceful. Sanctions on Iran because this regime -- very vulnerable is not as strong as people think. It doesn't have the support of the Iranian people. There's a lot of pressure there could be applied to to make it stop the enrichment of good nuclear -- How long can Israel wait. For the world to act before Israel has to act unilaterally. Against Iran's nuclear program. But I'm not gonna do hypotheticals. Told you want you to. This -- any country has. Proven reserves the right tool for self defense and Israel is no exception but I think we've Specter -- on. -- its open nuclear weapons. Possibly giving it to terrorists -- and then they want us there fortunately sufficiently troublesome. For the international community to get its act together and act to stop this from -- convinced they want a nuclear weapons. Just how long do you think from Israel's perspective what it takes -- to get them. Well -- it's getting shorter. Because your message more enriched. Picture and some of the bullet points lately have -- stories coming out seem like in months. This is that possible. What I think is possible through the international community to make you on reconsider. It's. Blatant. Flaunted. International commitments in international. Obligations it's possible to apply pressure on us descriptions and amassed a new page and a few months ago I would have told you -- Sony 5% maybe 80% of the Iranian people detest. This regime this. Your credit. Dictatorship. And do so well maybe just maybe don't -- the Iranian people feel unbelievable. Courage. I got their industry together again and say we want our freedom we don't want this may be able. -- Despotism. Controlling our lives and now you see it and when you see that US do you want. You want these people have nuclear weapons -- the -- though none of us do the Iranian people don't in the superfluous applied. The sooner that that catastrophic development would be averted how concerned are you. About Russia selling asked 300 antiaircraft missiles to Iran. Well I can tell you what let's. Open forms. Into leaders all over the world. It actually took all of -- your own -- Advanced weapons would do the regime. That regime the feeling that in -- are immune to pressures. You're immune to. The statement that President Obama has made repeatedly that all options on the table. If they think that all options are not on the table there will be that much harder to make essentially works so I think we'll for the sake of cookies. Good for the sake of security. These weapons should not do given or sold -- wrong."

" Former National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski he's quoted this week about a possible Israel's strike on Iran. That the US is not -- here and that possibly preventing Israel from bombing Iran this is what he said quote. They have to fly over airspace in Iraq if they fly over you go and confront them. They have a choice of turning back or not. Your reaction that. Moon -- respond to hypothetical hypothetical. Okay but how about this question are you 100%. Confident. But if you have to act unilaterally. That you will have the backing of the US government room. Don't do but not. --"

" On to a hypothetical. Hypothetical. The third hypothetical have to get through how much cooperation -- blog entries and an America and the joint American Israeli issues. To make sure that it -- does not get nuclear weapons. How much consents full cooperation. With Israel need from the United States. I think the question is how much cooperation -- international community is going to muster. Among its leading members to make sure. The these options. Are not really necessary because there are sufficiently strong. Because moment political. Diplomatic pressures. That could be applied to be wrong from the -- that they are the less severe -- The measures needed to stop the Iranian nuclear program. Along that line is it clear to you that Russia. And or China. Will never sign on to meaningful economic sanctions against wrong. A lot of critics of those two countries I believe that's the case I don't know I hope that's not -- yourself. Hopes that they understand that their own security their own interest. Would be imperative they just take not a long tribute to the middle term or even a short trip. -- there over the most basic interest to have spiritual regime. -- Where the weapons of mass death as something that would jeopardize their interest everyone's interest so they'll -- Review this along these lines being I think that it's possible to act. And a multinational would do without -- the Security Council hopefully. They're mobilized security council for this. Necessary action. But even if they don't. We've seen time and again do we. Major powers in the world not all of them but most of impacted munitions that it's possible to apply very strong pressure. And first and foremost economic pressure on a country like Google."
