Netanyahu: "Iran Is Trying to Encircle Us"
(Ha'aretz) Gili Cohen - Lt. Gen. Gadi Eisenkot, the new chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces, assumed his post on Monday. At the ceremony, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu noted: "The Middle East is disintegrating. States are collapsing. An empire is charging into this vacuum - Iran....It is trying to encircle us with three murderous arms - one in Lebanon, one in Gaza and a new one on the Golan. It vows openly to destroy the State of Israel in one way or another. Joining it are the forces of extremist Islam who are breaking through every crack in the Middle East and bringing their murderous acts to the entire world."
