Netanyahu Warns of Easing Sanctions on Iran

Local Editor

"Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday warned the West against easing sanctions on Iran to win its support in the fight against ISIL extremists in Syria and Iraq.

As the Islamic republic and six world powers started a new round of talks in New York on the Iranian nuclear program, Netanyahu said "respected commentators in the West" were counseling a softer approach to enlist Tehran in an alliance against the ISIL militants.

"They are fighting the ISIL out of their own interest," his office quoted him as telling an audience in Occupied al-Quds.

"They are struggling over who will be leader of the Islamist world which they seek to impose on the whole world," he said, referring to Iran.

"Israel" has refused to rule out military action against Iranian nuclear facilities.
