Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has responded to United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's speech on Iran by saying, "Thank you United States. This is the right policy."

Netanyahu explained, "Iran is in the midst of a development boom in the Middle East and seeks to acquire nuclear weapons through various means which we uncovered. Iran must get out of Syria. Whoever wants to stop Iran's aggression and promote peace - will oppose Iran and support the American position. That's what Israel is doing."
