Israel's Iran Threat by Stuart Brodkin - Jan 16 Dan Meridor, Israel's minister without portfolio, issued a stern warning that Iran could be the new threat to his country when he addressed the Zionist Federation's annual dinner in London last weekend. He said: “Iran is a country that we should look at very carefully. They are involved in terror, they have built a base for Hizbollah and they are also financing Islamic Jihad. "Iran also sold the Palestinians a lot of weapons recently and is attempting to have her own nuclear capability. It may only be between five and seven years before Iran has a nuclear bomb. "Iran is also the only country in the world, alongside Iraq, which is committed to the destruction of Israel. Iran says this not in secret, but openly. We must not overlook the dangers from the east in the shape of Iran and Iraq.” Meridor, a former tank commander in the Six-Day War, said he felt Palestinian Authority chairman Yasser Arafat's powers were being eroded. "He is saying things now that he doesn't mean for a minute,” said Meridor. He added that he felt that Arafat had "lowered the level of terror” in recent weeks but hadn't gone all the way in stopping the violence. Meridor said that the only thing that Arafat understood was pressure and that was why it was important for the Americans, in particular, to keep the pressure on the PA leader. He said: "Only heavy pressure works with Arafat. He knows he cannot win a war with Israel. American pressure is vital. We have to make Arafat understand that the use of violence will not help him.” Meridor added that Israel's "greatest achievement” in the last 10 years was "not Oslo but the fact that there were 20 per cent more Jews living in Israel”. He said: "In 10 years we have brought in a million more Jews. Has any other nation done such a thing in such a short time? This is our real achievement.” The dinner, which was in aid of the Kishor Village home in Israel for people with special needs, was held at the Hellenic Centre in central London. An auction and raffle raised £7,000. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
