Although Iran has long expressed no interest in developing nuclear weapons, Lapid vowed that Israel would stop the “nuclear bomb race” by any means necessary.

“Israel reserves the right to act at any time and in any way. It’s not only our right, it’s also our responsibility,” he said, as quoted by Russia Today, Thursday (14/10/2021).

“Iran has publicly stated that it wants to annihilate us. We have no intention of letting this happen,” he added.

“We know there are times when countries have to use force to protect the world from evil. If the terror regime is going to acquire nuclear weapons, we have to act, we have to make it clear that the civilized world won’t allow it. If Iran doesn’t believe that the world is serious about stopping them.” , they will race to bomb,” he explained.

Meanwhile, Lapid also talked about better relations with Arab neighbors through a series of normalization deals reached last year. He noted that Israel had “turned a cold peace with Egypt and Jordan into a warm peace”.
