Israeli PM Netanyahu Defends Israel

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Neyanyahu today defended his country’s need for security.

The television address, which I linked below, should be seen and heard by everyone.

Netanyahu said, in part:  “Israel simply cannot permit the free flow of weapons and war materials to Hamas from the sea.  I would go further than that.  Israel cannot permit Iran to establish a Mediterranean port a few dozen kilometers from Tel Aviv and from Jerusalem.”

He added later in the speech:

“For this and for many ever reasons, we have the right to inspect cargo heading into Gaza.”
