Gen. Avivi to Newsmax: ‘Israel Is Fighting to Protect the Whole Western World’

IDF retired Brig. Gen. Amir Avivi told Newsmax on Friday that Israel has gone on the offensive against Iran to protect “the whole western world.”

Avivi told Newsmax’s “National Report” that Israeli military strikes, which began on Thursday, aimed at eliminating Iran’s nuclear production capabilities, are intended to save more than just Israeli citizens. “Iran was moving fast towards the production of nine atomic bombs and thousands and thousands of ballistic missiles that not only endanger Israel, they cover all of Europe and also the U.S.”

Avivi said Iran is a global threat. “So Israel is not fighting just to protect Israel. Israel is fighting to protect the whole Western world.”
