(Prime Minister's Office) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - Prime Minister Netanyahu addressed the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations in Jerusalem on Monday: Why am I going to Washington? I'm going to Washington because as Prime Minister of Israel, it's my obligation to do everything in my power to prevent the conclusion of a bad deal that could threaten the survival of the State of Israel. The current proposal to Iran would endanger Israel. It would enable Iran to breakout to its first nuclear device within an unacceptably short time. And it would allow Iran to build an industrial capability to enrich uranium that could provide the fuel for many bombs in the coming years. A regime that openly calls for Israel's destruction would thus finally have the means to realize its genocidal aims. The real question that should be asked is how could any responsible Israeli prime minister refuse to speak to Congress on a matter so important to Israel's survival? How could anyone refuse an invitation to speak on a matter that could affect our very existence when such an invitation is offered? Why go now? The deadline for reaching an agreement with Iran is March 24th. That's the date that drives the speech. Now is the time for Israel to make its case - now before a deal is signed. I believe it's more responsible to speak out now to try to influence the negotiations while they're still ongoing. The survival of Israel is not a partisan issue. The fight against militant Islamic terrorism is not a partisan issue. The battle against the Islamic State is not a partisan issue. And the effort to prevent the Islamic Republic from building nuclear weapons, that's not a partisan issue either. The pursuit of nuclear weapons by Iran is the most urgent security challenge facing the world. The greatest danger facing humanity is the possibility that any movement or any regime of militant Islam will arm itself with weapons of mass destruction. 2015-02-17 00:00:00Full Article
