Israel's Peres: Iran as World's "Center of Terror"

During a visit to Berlin, Israeli President Shimon Peres stated Tuesday that Iran is the world's "center of terror" which seeks to impose its will on the Middle East. He said:

Ahmadinejad's regime is openly calling for Israel's destruction, denying the Holocaust, and preventing peace with the Palestinians. It is destabilizing Lebanon and Yemen and trying to take over Iraq.

Today's center of terror is in Iran. Terror is the military wing of Iran's political ambitions. The Iranians aspire to take control of the Middle East, and to destabilize existing regimes.

Israel: Netanyahu's "War on Evil"

On the eve of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, during a ceremony at Yad Vashem on Monday, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu called on the international community to fight against the increasing "evil" of anti-Semitism which is seeking the destruction not only of Israel but also the rest of the world. Netanyahu continued:

There is an evil that can spread and threaten the security of Jews. We know that this just begins with Jews, and then continues on to the rest of the world. There are today new people who hate Jews, with new reasons for [wanting] the destruction of the Jewish state. This is our concern.

Without explicitly signifying Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran, Netanyahu declared, "This is a test for humanity and we will see in the coming weeks how the international community stops this evil before it spreads."
