‘No one makes alliances with the weak,’ says Prime Minister shortly after meeting
Putin.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu offered a glimpse into his strategic aspirations
Thursday at a Jewish New Year’s reception at Mossad headquarters, which also
marked 65 years since the intelligence arm’s founding.
“We cannot solve the basic
problems of the Middle
East,” he said. “They are
revealing themselves in
their full force, and today
our enemy is a double
enemy: it is radical Shi’ite
Islam that is led by Iran
and its proxies, and the
Sunni one, currently led by
ISIS (Islamic State).”
“They fight each other, but
they agree that we have
no place in this Muslim region, as they see it. The alliances change, they rise and
fall and rise again and send arms in various directions, including ours.”
“There is one certain rule,” Netanyahu intoned: “No one strikes an alliance with the
weak. Our true defense in the years of the state’s existence and the 65 years that
the Mossad is marking now, is the strength of the state of Israel. It is this strength
that we maintain.” http://www.jewsnews.co.il/2015/09/24/netanyahu-israel-must-become-a-world-power/
