Netanyahu: Stopping Iran Is Israel's Top Priority
(Israel Hayom) Yori Yalon - Israel's most urgent task is to "stop Iran's nuclearization," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the cabinet on Sunday, after officially being tapped by the president to head a new coalition government. Netanyahu said, "Our over-arching goal is to stop the nuclearization of Iran. This mission is becoming more complex because Iran is obtaining more advanced centrifuges that shorten the enrichment time. We must not accept this with resignation." Netanyahu also listed secondary priorities that included "advancing a responsible peace process." Meeting with President Peres on Saturday evening, Prime Minister Netanyahu said the next government would be committed to achieving peace with the Palestinians and called on PA President Mahmoud Abbas to return to the negotiating table with Israel. "Every day that passes without talks and without us searching together for a solution of peace is unfortunate."
