Israel’s Chief Speaks Out 4-27-2016

27, April 2016                      Israel’s Chief Speaks Out

In a recent public statement, Lieutenant General Gadi Eisenkot, Israeli chief of staff, made the following startling defense assessments. He observed, “two existential threats to Israel are declining – non-conventional weaponry, including Iran’s nuclear program and Syrian chemical weapons. Israel faces no existential threat because of the Iranian nuclear accord has removed Israel’s greatest threat.” Prime Minister, Netanyahu earlier inflammatory statements denouncing the Iranian accord should pay more attention to his own highest military officer. He owes President Obama and the American people an unconditional apology for fearmongering and sowing the seeds of discord between our two countries based on an erroneous threat from Iran. Hillary Clinton, who made no effort to challenge Netanyahu on his public statements, once again exposes her own poor judgment of foreign affairs. In order to ingratiate herself to the Jewish lobby and pandering for votes, she declared the first foreign dignitary she would invite to the White House, is Prime Minister of Israel, Netanyahu. Clinton is not the only war hawk seeking high office. Lindsey Graham, earlier statement - “the Iranian nuclear deal is akin to declaring war on Sunni Arabs and the P5 + 1” (China, France, Russia, Britain, U.S. and Germany).
