Germany's Merkel in Jerusalem: Iran Not Just a Threat to Israel
(Reuters) Andreas Rinke - Speaking about a potential Iranian nuclear bomb, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Tuesday in Jerusalem: "We see the threat not just as a threat for the State of Israel but as a general threat for Europe as well." At a joint news conference, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged that world powers had "talked about the possibility of some enrichment" continuing in Iran as part of a final deal. "I think it's a mistake," he said. "Every single leader that I've talked to in the Middle East agrees with that position, whether they say so publicly or not. Why? Because if Iran really wants just civilian nuclear energy, then they don't need any enrichment. They don't need centrifuges."
