‘Bibi UN speech meant to stifle peace’
A political commentator says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu™s speech at the UN was meant to make sure that peace will not have a chance to œbreak out” in the Middle East, Press TV reports.
In a Tuesday interview with Press TV, E. Michael Jones, from Culture Wars online magazine, described as œunacceptable” the conditions outlined by Netanyahu during his UN speech for what he called a diplomatic solution on Iran™s nuclear issue.
œThere is a great fear among the Israeli lobby right now that peace might break out as a result of Obama™s phone conversation with President Rouhani and his statement to Netanyahu that they are going to pursue this overture and see where it leads,” said the analyst.
œEverybody wants peace now, nobody wants another war. The only people that want the war are Israel,” he said, adding, œThe tide is flowing in a different direction and now they all come across as kind of petulant angry warmongers that the tide is just leaving behind.”
On October 1, Netanyahu told the 68th session of the UN General Assembly that Iran must dismantle its entire nuclear program, repeating his baseless accusation that Tehran is seeking to develop nuclear weapons.
The Israeli premier claimed that the regime œwill not allow Iran to get nuclear weapons. If Israel is forced to stand alone, Israel will stand alone.”
Tehran has categorically rejected the allegations leveled by the US, Israel and some of their allies against its nuclear energy program, maintaining that its nuclear energy program is only for peaceful purposes.
Netanyahu™s salvo of threats and accusations against Iran comes as Israel, which is the sole possessor of nuclear weapons in the Middle East with 200-400 warheads, has refused to acknowledge that it possesses nuclear weapons and, unlike Iran, is not a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
