Netanyahu: EU must join call to stop Iranian enrichment
Netanyahu: EU must join call to stop Iranian enrichment | JPost | Israel News.
“It is crucial that Europe joins the international community in demanding a cessation of Iran’s nuclear program,” Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said on Thursday morning.
In a meeting with EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, the prime minister said the recent elections in Iran will be tested by whether Iran changes its policies and stops all enrichment, takes out the nuclear material and shuts down the illicit nuclear facility in Qom.
“Iran’s feet should be held to the fire. It’s not a question of political spin, but the spinning of centrifuges,” Netanyahu stated.
Referring to the ongoing debate to put Hezbollah’s armed wing on the EU’s terror list, Netanyahu questioned wryly: “If Hezbollah isn’t a terrorist organization, I don’t know what is.”
“They’re butchering people all around the world,” Netanyahu claimed.
“If Hezbollah is not terror organization, who is?”
Following the formal announcement of US Secretary of State John Kerry’s visit to Jerusalem next week, the prime minister said Israel is ready to resume talks without preconditions “today, yesterday and tomorrow.”
He stated that Kerry is undertaking an effort to resume direct negotiations without preconditions.
“That’s the right thing to do,” Netanyahu added.

Mr. Netanyahu can demand all he wants, but few EU leaders will heed his calls. It looks like the dog is tired of being wagged by the tail. Iran will never give up its right to enrichment, in the best case scenario it will temporarily cease enrichment to 20%. And Iran will never give up its nuclear research program. Besides, more and more people see the hypocrisy of Israel demanding this and demanding that while blatantly refusing IAEA inspections of its own nuclear facilities and its refusal to sign the NPT.

What a moron.
Israel has nukes for many years but it has never used them, has never threatened to use them and has never threatened to wipe another country off the map.
It’s your monkeys who threaten to wipe Israel out.
That is why we treat them differently.
I have news for you.
No country is obliged to sign the NPT.
Israel has not signed the NPT. Therefore no IAEA-inspections.
Iran has signed the NPT but it violates their obligations to the IAEA for years. Read their reports for yourself.
