Ambassador Mark Regev to TML: If Military Action on Iran Is Necessary, Israel Could Go It Alone

By Felice Friedson / The Media Line

Previously, he was the international spokesman for the Prime Minister’s Office. Mark Regev is also a visiting fellow at the Institute for National Security.
TML: Thank you so much for joining me here at The Media Line!
Mark Regev: My pleasure!
TML: Ambassador Regev, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has gotten his fair share of negative press from those not liking the new government’s political alignment, even before it had a chance to govern or to flesh out its policies. Is it fair to call out the alarm bells yet?
Mark Regev: I think the government should be given the credit that it is due. It is a democratically elected government. Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East, and this government has been freely elected by the Israeli people. Some might like the results. Some might not like the results, but I think that we should all respect the process.
