Netanyahu Reviews Threats to Israel
(Jerusalem Post) Addressing the Knesset on Wednesday, Prime Minister Netanyahu listed the major issues facing the country, which he said were "the Iranian [nuclear] threat, the missile threat and a threat I call the Goldstone threat, along with the mission of renewing and completing the peace process with the Palestinians." Regarding the Iranian issue, Netanyahu said, "I assess that the UN will make decisions on the matter in February." He noted that "Goldstone is a codeword for an attempt to delegitimize Israel's right to self-defense....The international battle against Israel began at the UN Durban Conference I, and continued in the 2005 IJC advisory opinion against the security fence and in the Durban Conference II, as well as the Goldstone report. This is a comprehensive attack, not on a specific Israeli government but on the State of Israel." He added that the Palestinians were stalling on negotiations with the aim of blaming Israel "despite the facts."
