Deputy Prime Minister in charge of Intelligence and Nuclear Energy Dan Meridor believes it must take advantage of the "broad coalition" that has formed, including most of the Arab countries to stop Iran in his march toward the bomb. LE FIGARO. – Where are the Franco-Israeli relations after the departure of Nicolas Sarkozy? Dan MERIDOR. – Our relations with the new French power are very intimate. Unfortunately, the major issues that concern us, Iran and Syria, none of us has the answers to the questions we ask. What is your analysis of the current changes in the Arab world? Takes time to change dictatorships to democracies. No more than the other, Israel saw the Arab Spring coming. Today, what worries me is the return of God and religion at the center of politics. I do not like it. What happens if the vote expressed by the majority does not want democracy? If she refuses, for example, women's right to dress as they wish. We do not know how these plans will eventually have elected Islamist government, like in Egypt, which is very important for Israel. What will the president Morsi? So far, his rhetoric is neutral, it has not attacked Israel. Egypt needs help from the West to improve its economy. I hope that this pressure will be a positive influence on the attitude of the Egyptian government. And Syria? Regime killing its people so terrible, we must stop this. -Israel is in a very difficult position. We do not act behind the scenes to change the Arab regimes. Change, it is true, there is a risk. In Syria, there is the risk iI jihadist. But for us, the priority is clearly to break the alliance between Syria, Iran and Hezbollah. This exceeds the risks inherent in a regime change in Damascus. We do not know when the Assad regime will fall, but when it falls, it will weaken Iran and Hezbollah. It will be a huge blow dealt to Iran. Syria is key to Iran's access to a dominant position in the Middle East. And this fact, a large and rare coalition is formed between the Western countries and Arab countries. This is a very important thing that almost all Arab countries to agree to stop Iran's race to the bomb. By an attack or by continuing sanctions and covert action? Military option is on the table, as President Obama said. To say more would be a mistake. I am against all those who are adding to Israel, because you know the formula: the more you talk, the less you can do. Obama made clear that he is not "contain" a nuclear Iran, but to prevent Iran from getting the bomb. Pressures from the international community produce an unprecedented effect, but it is not enough. We must intensify. Guide Ali Khamenei must understand that if it goes beyond the threshold and decided to build the bomb, the consequences will be very hard. But rest assured that if Iran wins wrestling and managed to have the bomb, it will change the world as we know it today. For more information read this
