Ya’alon: Relations with US excellent, but not policy on Iran
Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon praised “excellent” US-Israel relations, but sharply criticized the West’s approach to Iran, including that of the US. While attending a paratroop exercise on the Golan Wednesday, the minister commented: “Some people in the West prefer to not to look at reality with open eyes.” Iran runs terrorists in Afghanistan, trains and arms Hizballah, tries to smuggle arms into Gaza, builds terrorist networks in South America and Asia, and continues to enrich uranium, Yaalon summed up.
