Israel’s Defense Minister Benny Gantz is calling on the world to unite to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
“Iran is a global and regional challenge, as well as a challenge for Israel,” Gantz said while on a visit to the base of the navy’s elite Shayetet 13 commando unit. “Our defense establishment and all of the relevant bodies need to keep monitoring this issue.”
