Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Monday, January 7 said Israel is “prepared to make compromises for peace,” but the rest of the world must “wake up” to the great challenges from Iran and Syria, The Jerusalem Post reported. Addressing an event marking the 13th anniversary of Taglit-Birthright Israel, the prime minister said the greatest danger to the world is “not from Jews building in our ancestral capital in Jerusalem.” Continuing, he said: “It’s from nuclear weapons in Iran, those weapons that are built in Iran. It’s chemical weapons in Syria falling into the wrong hands. That’s the danger we have to focus on.” Netanyahu stated that Israel understands and deals with the dangers, but called on “responsible leaders” of the international community to address the “real challenges to all of mankind.”
