excerpt from: Israeli minister wants to clear “cloudy atmosphere” in ties with Turkey
Anadolu News Agency, 23 November 2009
In regard to Iran’s nuclear programme, [Israeli] Minister [Ben] Eliezer said that such a programme would pose a danger for the whole world.
A nuclear Iran would mean a “different Middle East” and also mean “losing all balances in the Middle East”, [Ben] Eliezer said.
