FRANCE 24 spoke to Israel's Economy and Industry Minister Nir Barkat, who previously served as mayor of Jerusalem and is a member of PM Binyamin Netanyahu's Likud party. "We have to attack Iran", he declared, saying that this included hitting Tehran's nuclear capabilities.
Barkat claimed that "Iran is the head of the snake" and is using its proxies Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis in Yemen in a bid to "choke Israel". According to him, Iran's aim is to "create a nuclear bomb" to "wipe Israel out".
