In reference to a cabinet meeting marking the 17th anniversary of the 9/11 attack, Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu was quoted as saying:
"This attack was carried out by Al Qaeda who passed the torch to ISIS. Iran is also working to terrorize the Sunnis and the Shiites. When Iran sends terrorist cells against Europe, the Europeans are conducting conciliatory talks with them. The time has come for Western governments to join the Trump government's strong effort against the terror regime in Iran."
