JERUSALEM (AFP) — Israeli prime minister-designate Benjamin
Netanyahu believes that weakening Iran is key to ending the Middle East
conflict as it would in turn weaken Hamas, a senior aide said on
Tuesday.
“Iran’s growing power and intransigence give great
advantage to the radical elements among Palestinians and in Lebanon,”
the aide said, when asked about talks Netanyahu held with outgoing
Defence Minister Ehud Barak earlier in the day.
