Netanyahu: "There are two years left to finish the work in Iran" Two days before the Israeli elections on October 27, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pushing a text by Yuval Bloomberg. He warns that Iran is about to get the bomb and that Israel only has two years left in the Trump presidency to "finish what it started" in Iran. The message to the voters is blunt: vote for anyone else and you risk a "second holocaust." "Every scandal surrounding Netanyahu, from the Qatar funds to the ultra-orthodox recruitment struggle, is dismissed as a "smoke screen. " The "Iran is going to get nukes" line is older than many of our readers: 1992: Netanyahu, then a lawmaker, says Iran is 3 to 5 years away from a nuclear bomb 1995: His book repeats the same 3 to 5 year warning 2002: He tells the US Congress that there is "no question" Saddam Hussein is building nukes and selling the Iraq war 2012: He holds A bomb is drawn at the UN and claims that Iran may be on the red line until next year 2015: he lectures the US Congress against the 2026 nuclear deal: there are still two years left, these 34 years of deadlines that never came, and Iran never built the bomb in any of them. What did happen is that Israel and the US used the warning to bomb Iran twice. The timing explains the rest. Netanyahu is struggling in the polls, and the fear of a nuclear Iran is the card he has left to play.
