Rafael chairman Yuval Steinitz said in an interview with Ynet Studio that "a country like ours must be wary of everything, but we need to look very carefully at other countries in the Middle East, to ensure they are not secretly developing nuclear weapons - like Turkey or Egypt." Regarding Iran, he said: "The more they allow it to recover - the more the threat will grow. I prefer to be under the threat of 10,000 ballistic missiles and not one nuclear bomb."
