(Fox News) Brooke Singman - Former President George W. Bush, when asked about the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian violence, told Fox News on Wednesday that what "you're seeing playing out is Iranian influence targeted toward Israel." "I think the best approach with regard to Iran is to understand that their influence is dangerous for world peace, that they are very much involved with extremist movements in Lebanon and Syria and Yemen, and they are aiming to spread their influence. Any deal that is done has got to not only focus on its nuclear capabilities, but also its influence in the Middle East....You've got to keep in mind the dangers of an aggressive Iran to our allies, and to stability, so it has to be a comprehensive look." "Right now, those who don't want peace are provoking and attacking Israel, and Israel is, of course, responding for national security reasons....You've got to understand that Israel is going to defend itself. So long as there is a threat to their people, they will defend themselves."
