Netanyahu said Wednesday the upcoming “so-called” Iranian presidential election will “change nothing” in the Islamic republic’s quest for nuclear weapons and that the regime will continue to pursue a bomb aimed at destroying Israel. <\/p>\n
Iran insists its uranium enrichment program has only peaceful goals.<\/p>\n
Iran’s election overseers have approved a list of would-be hopefuls, most of them loyalists favored by both the theocracy and the military, and any future president will likely side with the supreme leadership’s nuclear aspirations.<\/p>\n
“This is a regime that is building nuclear weapons with the expressed purpose to annihilate Israel’s 6 million Jews,” he said, alluding to the number of Jews killed by the Nazis during World War II. <\/p>\n
“We will not allow this to happen. We will never allow another Holocaust.”<\/p>\n
Israel considers Iran its greatest threat because of its support of Islamic militant groups, its arsenal of long-range missiles and primarily its advanced nuclear program.<\/p>\n
Netanyahu’s comments in Warsaw carried added significance since they came a day before he travels to the former Nazi death camp of Auschwitz in southern Poland, where he is to inaugurate a new pavilion meant to educate visitors about the Holocaust and the Nazi Germany’s quest to exterminate the Jewish people.<\/p>\n
