Olmert Urges Arab Moderates to Unite Against Iran

"We cannot afford to wait." Israel "cannot tolerate those who challenge" its right to exist while actively seeking to develop "catastrophic weapons."

"This coalition must struggle against the dangers of radical Islam that manipulate the very source of Islam itself."
