Israel and U.S. Working on "Plan B" If Iran Nuke Talks Fail
(Times of Israel) Judah Ari Gross - Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz on Monday said Israel and the U.S. had restored intelligence ties and were working to develop "Plan B" if the stalled nuclear talks between Washington and Tehran fail. Gantz warned that if Iran becomes a nuclear state, it will trigger an international arms race in which many nations in the Middle East will attempt to acquire an atomic bomb. Regarding Gaza, which has recently seen a significant increase in violence along the border, Gantz said Israel will make full reconstruction and development there contingent upon the release of two Israeli civilians and the remains of two fallen IDF soldiers from Hamas captivity. He added that the IDF would continue to strike more forcefully than in the past in response to launching balloon-borne incendiary devices.
