Mark Regev quotes:

The Iranian regime calls for the annihilation of Israel, it oppresses its own citizens, it's part of the murder going on in Syria and it's building an atomic bomb.

Iran's President openly talks about wiping Israel off the map. The Iranian nuclear program is a threat, not just to my country, but to the entire region. And it's incumbent upon us all to do what needs to be done to keep from proliferating.

It's not just Israel who refuses to speak to Hamas. It's the whole international community"¦ Most of the democratic world refuses to have a relationship with Hamas because Hamas has refused to meet the most minimal benchmarks of international behavior.

The combination of extremist ideology, a warped understanding of reality and nuclear weapons is a combination that no-one in the international community can accept.
