The Israeli prime minister’s speech comes after the Iranian president called on the Muslim world to unite against the Jewish state.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lashed out at Iranian President Hassan Rouhani after the latter described Israel as a « cancerous tumor » in the Middle East.
« Israel knows very well how to defend itself from the murderous Iranian regime, » Netanyahu said on Saturday night, according to Jerusalem Post. « Rouhani’s slander, which calls for the destruction of Israel, proves yet again why the nations of the world need to join in the sanctions against the Iranian terrorist regime which threatens them.
