Eilat – rime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, displaying on Monday what Israel said were seized, Iranian-supplied missiles bound for militants in Gaza, urged the West not to be fooled by Tehran’s diplomacy on its nuclear program.

Last week the Israeli navy captured a ship in the Red Sea carrying arms that the military said included forty M-302 surface-to-surface rockets manufactured in Syria and capable of striking most of Israel from the Gaza Strip.
Along with the missiles, some 180 mortar shells and 400,000 rifle rounds were laid out in neat piles on a pier in the southern port of Eilat. A navy missile boat that took part in the raid was docked behind the display.
Netanyahu was briefed by intelligence officers during a live broadcast on the weapons and shipping documentation that connected the stockpile to Iran.
Iran and Gaza’s Islamist Hamas rulers, both hostile to the Jewish state, rejected the Israeli findings as fabrications.
“(The world) wants to delude themselves that Iran has changed its intention to obtain nuclear weapons,” Netanyahu said. “All I heard was a handful of soft condemnations of Iran from the international community in response to this murderous cargo.”
“But we were witness to the smiles and handshakes of Western representatives with the leaders of the Iranian regime in Tehran, at the exact same time these missiles were unloaded in Eilat,” he said.
The hawkish Israeli premier was referring to a visit to Tehran by European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton.
Iran and six world powers, represented by Ashton, struck a deal on November 24 under which Tehran curbed some sensitive nuclear activities for six months in return for limited relief from sanctions. Meanwhile the two sides will try to hammer out a long-term agreement on the scope of Iran’s nuclear program.
Iran has repeatedly rejected allegations that it is seeking a nuclear weapons capability. Israel, widely believed to have the Middle East’s sole nuclear arsenal, says a nuclear-armed Iran would pose a mortal threat to its existence.
“Before it is too late, the world must awake from the illusion it is currently in and prevent Iran from achieving the capability to develop nuclear weapons,” Netanyahu said.

Kol HaKavod!!
IDF together with Yad Hashem at the ready to defend Am Yisrael & Midenat Yisroel
Who found those rockets? The yeshiva guys or those who went to the asifa yesterday??
Nobody outside Israel cares.
So far the PR blitz yielded very little, the world is not interested in this story at this time
the EU is more interested in oil and the fact that Israel is being threatened is really not at the top priority
when a nuclear suitcase made in Iran will find its way to the center of Paris or Brussels they will all scratch their heads but now they are all in the oil feeding frenzy and will not listen to any of the warning
#2 “Mishelanu”, one thing is certain, it wasn’t the תפילות of the Chilonim.
It wasn’t their לימוד התורה.
And it definitely wasn’t their זכות עשיית המצוות.
What it was, is, the חרדים observing the תרי”ג מצוות, תורה, עבודה וגמ”ח.
Believing otherwise is to be a כופר.
You all know the truth here! Just use your own brains and dont always follow the rebbes who have their own interest in mind.
The Haredim want everything, even credit for the IDF’s accomplishments. The same IDF that they curse on a daily basis, the same IDF that isn’t good enough for them, the same IDF that protects their savage ingrate behinds every day.
Many who went to the asifa didnt even know what they are going for. They just followed the others. They have no idea what the IDF does to protect them there. They just know how to milk the government.
I personally think it is Genayvah on Israels part and they should return it back the fastest way possible so the can fulfill the mitzva of Vahaishive Es HaGazailah ASAP
Iran is not FOOLING the world; the world does not care.
