Tehran, YJC. Treading the path of Turkish President Recep Tayyep Erdogan, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu accused the Islamic republic of trying to conquer the entire Middle East.
The nuclear agreement between the world powers and Iran
apparently emerging from the talks in Lausanne confirm all of Israel's
concerns, "and even more than that,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
said at Sunday's weekly cabinet meeting, according to Haaretz.
At the same time that the talks are taking place in
Lausanne, he said, the Ansarullah fighters in Yemen are in the process of
occupying large segments of Yemen and trying to gain control of the strategic
Bab el-Mandeb waterway which is critical to the free flow of the world's oil.
"After the Beirut-Damascus-Baghdad axis, Iran is
carrying out a pincer movement from the south to take over and occupy the
entire Middle East. The Iran-Lausanne-Yemen axis is very dangerous to humanity
and it must be stopped,” he said.
Netanyahu said he spoke over the weekend with Senate
Republican leader Mitch McConnell and with the Democratic leader in the senate
Harry Reid, and discussed Israel's deep concern about the emerging agreement.
He said that they both spoke of "firm, strong and continuing” bipartisan
support for Israel.
