PM Netanyahu's Remarks at the Start of the Weekly Cabinet Meeting (9 days until Congress speech)
PMO ^ | 22/02/2015 | Benjamin Netanyahu

Posted on 02/22/2015 10:41:05 AM PST by Dave346

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, today made the following remarks at the start of the Cabinet meeting:

"Today the Cabinet will be briefed on the security challenges developing around us, first and foremost Iran's attempt to increase its foothold on Israel's borders even as it works to arm itself with nuclear weapons. Alongside Iran's direct guidance of Hezbollah's actions in the north and Hamas' in the south, Iran is trying to also to develop a third front on the Golan Heights via the thousands of Hezbollah fighters who are in southern Syria and over which Iran holds direct command. The fact that Iran is continuing its murderous terrorism that knows no borders and which embraces the region and the world has, to our regret, not prevented the international community from continuing to talk with Iran about a nuclear agreement that will allow it to build the industrial capacity to develop nuclear weapons.

It is astonishing that even after the recent IAEA report determined that Iran is continuing to hide the military components of its nuclear program, the nuclear talks are with it are proceeding. Not only are they continuing, there is an increased effort to reach a nuclear agreement in the coming days and weeks. Therefore, the coming month is critical for the nuclear talks between Iran and the major powers because a framework agreement is liable to be signed that will allow Iran to develop the nuclear capabilities that threaten our existence. The agreement that is being formulated between Iran and the major powers is dangerous for Israel and therefore I will go to the US next week in order to explain to the American Congress, which could influence the fate of the agreement, why this agreement is dangerous for Israel, the region and the entire world."

A speech any loyal American president would have made long ago to our Congress. Sounds good.

I can’t wait. Anything that has The Won in such a tizzy, I expect to be good.

Does our president even hold cabinet meetings anymore, now that he’s become a dictator?

And we know that the last thing Obama would do is have what goes on in any White House meeting be made public.

Israel has a different kind of government than we do — an open democracy.

Hopefully, Netanyahu will be able to make that speech.

I wouldn't put it past Zero to order JFnK to pull Bibi's visa, thus preventing him from entering the country.

I’ve heard his morning briefings are done by video transmissions, where he can read them, when time permits, I guess. He’s too important to listen to a mere underling with happenings that may hurt our country.

Anyone want to take that bet?

I would not be surprised to see Obama/Kerry trumpet
an agreement, the morning of Bibi’s speech...

I only pray Israel has the will to do what must be done
to make the term “Never Again” a reality.

240 House and 54 Senate Repubs can phone-video it to their .org sites for streaming. Netenyahu will be heard.

He don’t need no stinking cabinet meetings. He is smarter than all those people anyway. Put together.

Our only hope is that the speech occurs during Mark Levins show because he will definitely let it rip!
