The Iranian nuclear challenge and Israel's nuclear strategy should be a heavy consideration for dozens of elections - and after them, in any other election issue. If there is no decision between the chunks, the contestants must be sued to overcome gaps and precipitation and face the challenge.

The nuclear deal with Iran is set to expire in five years, and perhaps first, if Iran continues its gradual withdrawal from its commitments.

In the first place, the agreement does not prevent the bombing from continuing, nor does it disrupt Iran's ability to achieve its shortfall on the way to nuclear weapons. This is mainly the development of missiles that were not included in the agreement, and the completion of the development of the ignition mechanism at the top of the nuclear detonator at the military bases (Parchin) without effective supervision by the IAEA, in a scandalous secret agreement that was not disclosed to the public.

Faced with the weakness of Europe and the oblivious resolution of the nuclear agreement initiated by Obama, Netanyahu's conduct as a leader with a historic and worthy responsibility. First, despite internal criticism, he invested billions in creating Israel's credible and independent military attack capability against Iran.

This potential for attack is important for the future, and in the first stage he succeeded in bringing the powers to impose paralyzing sanctions on Iran. In the second phase, when the Obama administration embroidered the agreement behind Israel's back, Netanyahu faced leadership daring to prevent this dangerous agreement, which, in addition to abolishing sanctions and preserving the nuclear threat, included the transfer of hundreds of billions of dollars and strengthening the Revolutionary Guards and the fueling of the terror and the Shimani belt program. Quds.

Netanyahu's attempt to mobilize Congress against the agreement did not receive enough public backing, and was unsuccessful. But his persistence has led to Trump's important turnaround from the agreement and his willingness to deal with Iran in the reverse style of appeasing the Obama administration.

The historic challenge facing the Israeli leadership will culminate in the coming years. The Islamic Revolutionary Guards motivation of the Revolution is based on an extreme messianic belief, and the attack on US targets and Saudi oil facilities is indicative of their determination.
The US policy reversal has created a unique chance to turn the wheels of history toward removing the terror of turning the Islamic Republic into a nuclear power, but its realization involves complex and gentle political conduct by the Israeli leadership. This struggle involves the dangers of a war in the involvement of Iranian envoys in arriving in Israel. And in the economy following the laying of tens of thousands of (conventional) missiles on Israel's cities and strategic facilities.

Netanyahu's talent, experience and system of political ties are essential to the careful but uncompromising management of this challenge. The overt and covert ties, and the shared strategic interests that he has with critical actors in the struggle, from the US President to the President of Egypt and the rulers of the Arab and Muslim countries in the circle around Iran, are unquestionable assets in managing this aggressive chess game with the inventors of the game.
