Defense Minister Bnei Gantz said today (Thursday) about the nuclear deal with Iran that "we need to be careful about what we want to achieve there and not soften too much. That all the holes within the agreement will be resolved."

This, ahead of the resumption of nuclear talks between Iran and the powers in Vienna on Monday.

Gantz made the remarks at the conclusion of his visit to Rabat, the capital of Morocco, where he signed a memorandum of understanding for cooperation between the two countries.

"Iran is first and foremost a global problem, then a regional problem and finally a problem for Israel," Ganz said, adding that the issue came up in his talks in Morocco.

"Global mobilization is needed for this and we are operating on this level. Our duty in the Iranian context is to influence our partners and have an ongoing dialogue. The second duty is to build the military force, I landed to upgrade the force building."

Asked about the US position on the Iranian issue, the defense minister stressed: "You know my customs, I will continue to talk to the Americans behind closed doors."

He added that Israel must cooperate with the United States, "and ensure that we maintain dialogue with both sides of the barricade in the United States and maintain 'super-partisanship', and do not drift into American politics as has been done in the past." "Which closes the holes in the existing agreement in the field of nuclear development, launch systems, its time frame and what Iran is doing in the region."

Ganz summed up his visit to Morocco as "a very important visit", saying: "I propose to break free from the cynicism, and understand that this is the first visit of an Israeli Defense Minister to Morocco - an open, ongoing visit, with all its ceremonial and conversational aspects in the strategic and other areas. We laid the groundwork, and we signed agreements that will allow us to continue security cooperation and later industrial cooperation. "

Ganz added and thanked Foreign Minister Yair Lapid and former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, "who worked to open the doors here."

"I am sure that Israel will be pleased with its relations with Morocco in the future. We were received here with extraordinary cordiality, we really made an effort to make the visit a success. I am very, very happy about what we did."

The visit was accompanied by MK Yaakov Margi of Shas, who was born in Rabat, and Ganz said that it was exciting to visit the synagogue of the Jewish community in Rabat, to hear MK Margie, who was born here, speak.

The Moroccan community is connected to the State of Israel, and this culture is an important culture in our short history. "

"Culture is important in our short history."

"There is an understanding here that there is Iranian subversion"

Regarding Iran, the security source said that in talks in Morocco they talked about actions that Iran is carrying out in the region and in other African countries, and about its attempts to establish itself in other places outside the Middle East. "There is also an understanding here and in other countries that there is Iranian subversion. This is further proof that Iran is not an Israeli problem, and there is a need for global mobilization. We have a great influence on Israel's partners, but not infinite."

"The defense minister did not approve or sign any deal during his stay," the source replied regarding publications on arms deals between Israel and Morocco. "All the major deals in question are required to go through approval and signing processes. In the face of missile fire and also in the UAV world and we can help them in the fight against terrorism. "

"The State of Israel exports cyber only to approved countries and for legal uses, and it will remain in force both for the future and for the issue of Morocco and for all countries. No concrete cyber deal came up during the visit," he clarified.
