Many supportive reactions have been heard throughout Israeli politics, both on the right and on the left, following a warning by former Israeli ambassador to the United States Ron Drummer that the international community may not act against Iran.
MK Eli Cohen (Likud), former Minister of Intelligence, said that "More than two years ago, when Israel presented to the world the Mossad's operation to expose the Iranian nuclear archive, it was clear that Iran was continuing its nuclear program and continuing to act in hiding, lying and violating agreements." nuclear weapon".
He said, "The US and the West's deal with Iran is not worth the paper it will sign, and not only will it not keep the war away, but will bring it closer than ever." On the whole free world.
The State of Israel cannot afford a nuclear Iran.
"Our planes can go anywhere in the Middle East, and the Iranians should know that."

MK Emily Moati (Labor), chair of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee's subcommittee, told Israel Today that "there is truth in Drummer's remarks. The world cannot 'prevent', but it can, by agreement, slow down "And slow down Iran's progress. Even then, things need to be monitored and watched closely by the world, and especially ours."
The chairman of Religious Zionism, MK Bezalel Smutrich, also referred to Drummer, saying: "Smiles and hugs with world leaders is nice, but preventing an Iranian nuclear issue is an existential issue. It is hard to escape the feeling that this government is building its strategies on smiling meetings. "The Iranian nuclear issue is critical to Israel's future, and it should in no way be left to amorphous hope that the nuclear program will disappear. This is not a plan of action."
"While the Israeli government is procrastinating and promising not to publicly oppose the US return to the nuclear deal, the conventional weapons of the enemies around us are intensifying, and our hourglass for action is running out," he added. "And for the first time - God forbid - because of the Iranian threat, our hand will not be on the top. The Iranian issue must not be taken off the agenda, and I pray that the Israeli government will recover and do everything to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons."
