Bennett on CNN: Israel Will Not be the Next Czechoslovakia (calls Iran "imminent threat")

Jewish Home chairman Naftali Bennett stressed on the weekend that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s upcoming speech to Congress is essential, despite the potential rift in relations between Israel and the United States.

Speaking to CNN, Bennett explained that the speech is important in order to stop a bad agreement between Western powers and Iran. He added that Israel cannot stand by in the face of an existential threat such as the Iranian nuclear program.

“We’re in the money time. On March 24 the deadline for these negotiations ends,” he said, explaining that Netanyahu’s speech to Congress will lay out Israel’s case “at the very last moment”.

“The current deal that’s being discussed is a very bad deal,” continued Bennett. “Essentially it allows Iran to retain the machine that produces nuclear weapons and it only presses the pause button” meaning that, in a few years, Iran can produce nuclear weapons easily.

“We’re fighting for our very survival and we have to make our best case to the American people.”

Iran, said Bennett, “is using delay and deceit tactics” and the world “must take away their whole machine” which will enable them to produce nuclear weapons.

“The West, who was sure they were doing the right thing in order to appease Nazi Germany, they sold Czechoslovakia. Israel will not be the next Czechoslovakia,” stressed Bennett.

“America is our best and biggest friend - nothing will change that - but we have to make our case to the free world to stop this imminent threat,” he added.

I keep saying, it feels like we are in the year 1939 - on the cusp of WW III.

Israel is going to war soon, and it might turn nuclear.

Could this be happening all over again?

This is true.
