Netanyahu’s extreme concern about the West Bank and Iran-Russia relations

According to the monitoring report of Fars News Agency International Group, Benjamin Netanyahu said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal that despite some differences of opinion with Joe Biden about Iran, the security, intelligence and military cooperation between Israel and the United States is stronger than ever.

The Prime Minister of the Zionist regime in an interview with the American newspaper “Wall street JournalOnce again, he expressed his concern about the warm relations between Russia and Iran. The reporter of this famous American media asked Benjamin Netanyahu about the claim of Iran sending drones to Russia for the Ukraine war and asked his opinion about the possibility of strengthening relations between Tehran and Moscow in the military and weapons fields.

In response, the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime claimed: “It is clear that the relationship (Russia and Iran) is very worrying because it gives Iran the weapons or tools needed to achieve its goals against Israel and others, Arab countries and many other countries. Also, Iran is giving weapons to Russia that were used in the Ukraine war. “It is clear that we are concerned about this issue and we have communicated our concern to Russia and we are also helping Ukraine to defend civilians.”

The American reporter asked Netanyahu: “What has Moscow said in response (to your concern about Russia-Iran relations)?”

The Prime Minister of the Zionist regime claimed: “They are fully aware of our concern. I think you should also understand this. We are also concerned about the fact that the systems that we want to provide to Ukraine will end up in the hands of Iran, and they may be reverse engineered and we will find ourselves in a situation where the Israeli systems be used against Israel. At the same time, this is not an imaginary and hypothetical threat, because the exact same thing happened to the anti-tank systems of Western countries, and we see it in the hands of Hezbollah on our borders.”

The Wall Street Journal reporter asked: “Ukraine’s ambassador to Israel recently said that Israel has declared in public circles that it has declared neutrality in the war between Russia and Ukraine, but in practice, Israel’s positions have been taken in support of Russia, and Israel has really kept its promises about sending aid. To Ukraine has not done. What is your response to the words of the Ukrainian ambassador?

In response to this question, Netanyahu said: “Well, this is not true. “The previous administration made promises that were on the way but they didn’t do it and I did it… We are not neutral and we have expressed our sympathy to Ukraine.”

The Prime Minister of the Zionist regime added: “But we have limitations and we also have concerns and interests. My first priority is to protect the security of Israel, the only Jewish state. We have the concerns that I told you, and our pilots are flying in the Syrian sky near the Russian pilots in order to prevent Iran from establishing a second Hezbollah front in Syria.

Netanyahu’s interview with the Wall Street Journal reporter

The Wall Street Journal reporter asked the prime minister, the only possessor of nuclear weapons in West Asia, about Iran’s nuclear program, and Netanyahu, while repeating his baseless claims about Iran’s efforts to obtain nuclear weapons, took a stand against Iran’s uranium enrichment.

The reporter asked Netanyahu: “The United States is now re-engaging diplomatically with Iran, which is known as the “small agreement” regarding Iran’s nuclear program. Do you think this “small deal” is the first step to revive the Iran deal or do you think the old Iran deal is really dead?

The Prime Minister of the Zionist regime answered as follows: “Any agreement with Iran that does not reverse the infrastructure of its nuclear program will not be a useful agreement… it will be a bad agreement.” It is clear that a deal that would give them hundreds of billions of dollars and enable them to get rid of all the so-called sunset clauses, such as uranium enrichment, within two or three years, would be a much worse deal. look! Neither the maximum deal nor the small deal will prevent us from defending Israel against a regime that openly says it wants to destroy us, and we will take the necessary steps to defend ourselves.”

In the continuation of this interview, he was asked about US President Joe Biden not inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to visit Washington and meet at the White House.

“You’ve known President Biden for more than four decades,” asked the Wall Street Journal reporter. You have friendly relations, but since the formation of your new administration, you have not yet received an invitation to visit the White House. What does this tell us about the nature of current US-Israeli relations?”

In response, Netanyahu said: “You are right. I have known President Biden for more than 40 years. We have had close friendly relations. We did not always agree with each other and sometimes we had disagreements. He himself has described himself as a Zionist and a supporter of Israel. And I don’t think that this description is incorrect, it is a correct description, and he has an inner sympathy for the Jewish state. will continue I can tell you about the Obama administration, when Mr. Biden was the vice president, he often acted as our communication channel and tried to create a middle ground during a very tense period, as a result of which (Biden’s friendship with Israel) was not at all necessary. no question What people don’t know and the issue of inviting me (to travel to America) has cast a shadow on people’s opinions and knowledge about what is being done about the cooperation between the two governments. Indeed, security, military, intelligence, and cyber cooperation under our administrations is stronger than ever. I talked to the president on the phone a few weeks ago, and since, I may not have been to Washington, but Washington is coming here, including White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, Secretary of State Blinken, and the CIA Director, and I’ve met with all of them. I had and the phone calls (between the two sides) are continuous.”

The Wall Street Journal reporter asked about the situation in the West Bank and asked: “The last 15 months have been the most violent time in the West Bank in the last two decades. According to Israeli officials, the reason for this is that the Palestinian Authority has lost control over parts of the West Bank. What is your solution? As some members of your own government say, should you place Israeli security forces in these areas or strengthen the Palestinian Authority in those areas?

In response to this question, Netanyahu clarified: “It is both of these. The second solution has failed and they (the Palestinian Authority) are stuck in their own complicated politics.

Expressing his concern about the escalation of resistance operations in the West Bank against the Zionist regime, he reacted to the advice of some radical members of the cabinet to dissolve the self-governing organizations.

The Prime Minister of the Zionist regime told the Wall Street Journal: “My policy has definitely been to preserve the self-governing organization and I do not want to dissolve it, and the statements made by some are ridiculous.”
