Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel’s growing unofficial ties with major Arab countries reached an unprecedented and unexpected level.
Netanyahu made his remarks at a ceremony held on Wednesday at the nuclear research facility in Dimona to rename the facility after former Israeli president Shimon Peres.
“The process of normalization of major Arab countries with the strong state of Israel is happening before our very eyes on a scale that would have been impossible to imagine just a few years ago; a process that will hopefully result in peace. But it is impossible to deny the fact that there remain many enemies in this region and beyond” the premier said alluding to Israel’s discreet relations with Gulf Arab states that see Iran as a common foe.
“In the Middle East and in many parts of the world there is a simple truth: there is no place for the weak. The weak are collapsing slaughtered erased from history; and the strong for better or for worse are the ones who survive. The strong are respected the strong enter into alliances and ultimately the strong make peace” he added.
