Knesset Member Menachem Eliezer Moses, chairman of the United Torah Judaism
faction, wished success on Wednesday to the two camps battling in Iran
following Friday's disputed presidential elections.
"What I have to say about everything happening in Iran, about the two sides which are fighting and hawking, is that none of them likes us, and I wish both sides success," Moses told the Knesset during an urgent meeting on the recent developments in the Islamic republic.
"The fact that (Mahmoud) Ahmadinejad
was reelected for Iran's presidency is something I may even be happy about," he said.
Moses explained that "we would rather have an open enemy of Israel who we know and are familiar with his stances and with how to deal with him, than a hidden enemy of Israel in the image of (Mir Hossein) Mousavi the reformist, who we don't know yet and who hides behind a so-called pretense of progress, but we know he is no better than the first one, Ahmadinejad, in regards to Israel."
Moses quoted King David, "The Lord is with me; he is my helper. I will look in triumph on my enemies" (Psalms 118:7). According to the MK, "There are those who interpret it as: Help me God to see the enemies, to make them open and not hidden, and then I will know how to deal with them. Ahmadinejad was elected, and he is our open enemy."
