U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee addressed the tensions with Iran, saying in an interview with Ynet studio that "the president has been clear, this cannot continue like this. 47 years of threats against America, not just against Israel. This must stop, one way or another - either like civilized people or the president will make decisions." On the Geneva negotiations, he added: "We hope for a rational approach from the Iranians." He noted that "I don't know who will strike first - Israel or the U.S. I admire the Israelis who are not willing to fold in the face of threats, let's pray for peace but prepare for the worst."
