Netanyahu's warning on Iran and Israel's defense stance
Prime Minister Netanyahu frames Iran as the central threat to Israel since 1948 and argues Israel may strike to prevent a nuclear Iran within two years. He cites Hamas and Hezbollah rocket threats, the limits of missile defense, and a global swing against Israel's self defense, warning of world reaction if action occurs. He references Obama, Clinton, Panetta, and other figures while asserting a renewed imperative for a sovereign Jewish state.
