Member of Knesset Yuval Steinitz (Likud) said Saturday that he "believes a hundred percent that the United States will attack Iran…in order to eliminate its nuclear threat. This will occur after diplomatic efforts fail."
Steinitz added: "I call for the implementation of a Defensive Shield-like operation in Gaza in two to three weeks and claim that Israel needs to dismantle the Palestinian Authority, at least in the West Bank as a preemptive step to dealing with the future threat of Iran." (Anat Bereshkovsky)
